I went and looked at it today. The water by Schumann’s beach is about 100 yards wide versus the 400+ yards wide before the dam failure. The flow was really good. Looks like the original river channel is where the water is. Same down by the dam. I could see where after the lake bed dries out this could be a good 7 mile float trip. Folks need to rebuild/engineer there waterfront but it could still be usable recreational property until the dam is fixed.

It will be interesting to see over the next few years how nature reclaims all the seemingly sterile mud flats that were once lake bed. My guess is it will be completely overgrown by this time next year. The river channel will probably change as well

This is an awful situation for those people.
Definitely a bad deal for the folks with lake property
