THE STORY

Narrated · Plays hands-free in Travel Mode
Letts Valley was settled in 1855 by Jack and David Lett. The present lake spillway is the site of a tunnel they built to facilitate drainage. Both brothers were killed in 1877, at the site of the present camp grounds, in an attempt to prevent squatters from settling on their land.
