Title
A shift in the Missouri and, voilà, Carter Lake
Subject

Description
The 118-acre Carter Lake provides fishing and recreational opportunities--and a scenic backdrop--for Carter Lake and area residents. Paved walkways and wooden bridges facilitate pedestrian traffic around the lake which was formed as an ox-bow of the Missouri River when the river's channel shifted back in 1888. The shift left a 1,236-acre chunk of Iowa on the Nebraska side of the river, which the U.S. Supreme Court decided remained in Iowa's possession. [Photo by Steve Glowacki]
