It looks like the $250,000 project to repair Trail of Tears State Park’s Lake Boutin dam may be wrapping up. An August 27, 2012, Missourian story said the work had been delayed by the drought.

Waterfowl approve
These guys may like the dam, but they weren’t too happy with me. Once I got to a certain point, they would walk away from me at the same speed as my approach. When I stopped, they’d stop. When I started walking back to the car, they followed me back.
Gorgeous photos! And a funny vignette about silly geese (water fowl). A nice start to my morning.
Yes, despite the clear blue skies, it was fowl weather.
I have several blogs with Frony photos from the early days of Trail of Tears State Park. This one features an article by John L. Wescoat from 1975 with the history of the park:

Appears that you may have achieved them imprinting on you in the end. Glorious shots with vivid fall colors!
Makes me almost mss living in the area…Trail of Tears is a special place. Great shots and the usual humor to go with it!
I LOVE YOUR PANORAMIC PICTURE OF LAKE BOUTIN AND THE SMALLER ONE WITH THE GEESE!
THE FALL PICTURES WERE GREAT TOO! I HAVE TAKEN SOME REALLY NEAT PICTURES THIS FALL ALSO WITH MY NIKON DX. I LOVE THAT CAMERA. I JUST TOOK 100 SHOTS WHILE I WAS IN ST. LOUIS THIS WEEKEND. THOSE BUILDINGS UP THERE ARE SO IMPRESSIVE.
CAN’T WAIT TO SEE WHAT NEW ADVENTURES YOU HAVE IN STORE FOR US NEXT WEEK!
