Lake serpent
One day in August of 1920 while driving over the reservoir bridge at the Ben Lehmkuhl Farm, Frank Rents claimed he saw a sea serpent or "some such varmint", swimming rapidly in the reservoir. He stated it was 10 or 12 feet long and 6 inches in diameter as near as he could tell from where he was. Mr. Rents claimed he called the attention of several campers to the freak but as yet it had not been captured.
