Hi All,
Anyone aware of any resources for locating towns that have been abandoned and flooded by man made lakes?
Any leads to DanStantonHFWV@aol.com would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!!
Whiskeytown Resivor, Northern CA. I know that there's supposed to be a town there but I've never heard exactly where it is. There is a old cement structure there that I have dove in 90 ft of water.
Dale Hollow Lake in Kentucky. Town flooded by lake created with Dam.
Marthas Quarry, outside Nashville Tenn. Not really a town, but a quarry rock crusher operation that had admin/crew buildings with crushers, conveyor belts, in the quarry. Apparantly they struck water and it filled up to quick to remove the equipment. You can now dive and swim through the buildings and equipment.

There is a flooded town well out in the lake (need a boat). As well there there are the flooded remains of the dam which flooded the town and some other structures that can be dove from the shore. The place has been intentionally flooded at least twice.

Northern California has lots of lakes with flooded towns. Whiskeytown has one, but its at 200 feet, oroville has the old town sunk and Folsom lake has the old salmon falls bridge that is submerged right now, and when the lake is low is sometimes partially exposed. Usually there isn't much to see with these old towns, just foundations, maybe badly crumbled walls.
