Lake Clare, located on the Rocky Run Creek, is fed by springs. It was dammed on the Northwest 1/4 of Northwest section, 25-148-67 thus closing a large kettle hole in the open prairie. The lake has an area of about 50 acres and is 15 by 20 feet in depth in places. Excellent facility for bathing and fishing and duck hunting-

A number of years ago the farmers put in an earth fill and stocked it with fish. During the spring of 1934, through a FERA project, the shorelines were straightened and dredged. May 5, 1934, the State Game and Fish commission planted 1900 pike, perch and bullheads that were gathered from the Cedar River and put them in the lake. Nice catches were reported in the 1935 season.
