From the Dunn County News, February 10, 1943.
This article indicates the islands that were just opposite Point Comfort. This would be old Point Comfort, of course, but still very near where it is now. Not too far away from where today's City of Menomonie will be foolishly spending money to dredge a former swamp that is simply catching up to where it should be: a healthier transition zone, a delta, the bridge from a tributary into a larger body of water.
But this is what a current city council member wants for their own personal shoreline so the cost must be certainly just to paid for the residents as a whole for $500,000.
In this old article, the question of, "who owns" the area is questioned. Did they ever resolve this then? Who owns what we have now?
Examples of pride and appreciation for Lake Menomin are fairly abundant. However, poetry is one reactionary method to nature that has not been as apparent in more modern days.
An example from The Dunn County News September 25th, 1946:
