The lake is drained to build a new dumb and what use to be the bottom of it is now wide banks of the creek. It looks pretty cool, this is how imagine it looks somewhere in African safari or Arizona desert after rain season when everything starting to dry up. Those cracks are about 10-12 inches deep and the closer you get to the creek, the softer it gets and I almost got sucked into one of them, they can look very deceiving.
