Estill County needs a LAKE

Why not build a lake near Station Camp or maybe Fitchburg? The southern and eastern parts of the county could use the extra tourism dollars.Stores, boat rentals, bait shops etc. could pop up across the area.

Jackson County has Lake Beulah. Letcher County has Carr's Fork Lake. Why don't we have a lake? Think of the jobs that could be produced.

Yet when Hal Rogers visited Estill County in the late 1980s, a mob of angry people protested the lake.There is enough national forest land that property acquisition wouldn't be needed.
