Depth

[edit]

There are two contradictory depths in this article. The text states the lake is "over 140 feet deep", but the info box states it is 180 feet deep. Of course, "over 140 feet deep" could mean 180 feet deep, but that would be confusing. I don't know the correct answer, but it's just a minor thing which needs to be corrected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Martylunsford (talkcontribs) 05:59, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Both figures appear to come from the same source, which says of the reservoir that it’s more than 140 feet deep and of the dam, that it has a 180 foot high spillway. Judging by the topography, it's likely the deepest point in the reservoir is just behind the dam. However, the topo map also makes it clear that the dam is somewhat taller on the downstream side than the upstream one, so I doubt the water is 180 feet deep. Lacking another source for water depth, I'll remove the doubtful information. —Stepheng3 (talk) 22:12, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
