Mid-summer view northward over the dam and spillway structures at the northeastern end of Lake Kahola. Photo date 7/99.
Late winter view toward the dam and spillway structures at the northeastern end of Lake Kahola. Photo date 3/00.
View toward southeast showing the lake dam; cabins on the northeast side are visible in the foreground. The dam is faced with large blocks of limestone taken from a nearby quarry. Photo date 11/97.
Low-oblique view of cabins on the northeast side of the lake. The large stone building to right is a picnic shelter for group meetings and special events. A portion of the dam can be seen in the background. Photo date 11/97.
High-oblique view looking toward the east. The lake spillway (curved wall) and outlet channel are visible in scene center, located at the northeastern end of the lake. The outlet channel connects with Kahola Creek valley in the right background. Elevation of the spillway is 1269 feet. Photo date 11/97.
Spring view toward the north of the dam and spillway area. Redbuds are blooming just below the dam, and a recently burned prairie patch can be seen in the lower center of view. Photo date 4/99; Kodak Gold print film.
Low-oblique view of the outlet tower near the south end of the dam. This tower is located in the original stream channel and can be openned to drain the lake. The tower has not been used in many years and will probably never be openned again. Photo date 7/99.
