Outside of Hobart, Oklahoma is Lake Altus-Lugert, or to area natives, just Lake Lugert. It s a watering hole created to supplement crop irrigation during periods of drought, and the story of its creation is really interesting.
Being a lake created between mountains, the water there is astonishingly clear. Tea-stained to a brownish color, but clear. This is no typical Oklahoma mud lake. Walking the banks looking for a place to cast a line, I remember the lake tales told to me when I was younger. While tall tales are fine, the internet of today can shed accurate information on the true story of this lake.
