This is a huge project for the betterment of 🩵
Greetings from the banks of Little Sugar Creek!
Take a look at Little Sugar Creek's left bank, near the big bend where the washed-out bridge once crossed—this photo shows the massive amount of dirt that was hauled upstream taken from the Lake Bella Vista dam. These hundreds of piles of dirt, which once formed the failed dam, are now being repurposed for streambank rebuilding.
Over the coming weeks, the dam dirt will be carefully graded into the banks to create a brand-new public access area. Once completed, this spot will become one of the main community launch points on Little Sugar Creek, offering easy access for swimming, fishing, and launching kayaks. From a failed dam to a new public streambank in Sugar Creek Park, we are excited to see this space made into something for everyone to enjoy and have access to a FREE LITTLE SUGAR CREEK!..and a river runs through it...
