The second (main)
group of volunteers posed for the "official" ground breaking
photo for the first day of trail clearing at Collinsville City Lake. Many
indicated it was their first trip to the location that is hoped will soon
no longer be Collinsville's "hidden treasure". The lake was
expanded by the WPA in 1932 and serves as the city water reservoir with
water initially from the Caney River and then later piped from Oologah
Lake (since 1965). Swimming, boats and tobacco products, camp fires are
not allowed at the city owned property, but fishing from the shore is
allowed.
Also note, several properties adjacent to the lake are private property
and posted with no trespassing signs. |

| Nick Mendez is the
"father" of the trail initiative at Collinsville City Lake ...
bringing the concept to Collinsville city officials in December
2014 and getting approval to proceed. Nick remains the driving force
to get the trail designed / built / maintained and to gather volunteer
support and promote the project. |
