Farm Island Fall
Sep 25, 2014
John Mitchell, Pierre, shared these photos from Farm Island Recreation Area and nearby Lewis and Clark Trail in Hughes County. Fur traders explored Farm Island in the early 1800s, and then tilled the land and planted crops, thus the name Farm Island. In 1934 a causeway was built, and the island became a recreation center. Big Bend Dam was finished in 1965, and much of the island was flooded beneath Lake Sharpe. Nature has reclaimed much of the island. See more of Mitchell’s work at http://www.sodakmoments.com/
