Hope this happens
I googled to see if there was any talk of dredging and this came up, looks like it'll take years but someone is at least serious about trying it. A project like this could add even more value to those nice homes around the lake, versus a decline as a swamp forms in front of them. That's probably where the private funds are coming from. Either way it'll be cool if it happens.

Yes, lake was a cypress swamp which was clear cut and flooded in the 20's or 30's. it historically has fish kills so there may not be many big fish. A while back they tried to dredge it and that created the present wampold park. And when I say dredge the guy went as far as he could until he hit too many stumps then changed direction. There are lots of stumps still there.
The lake really needs to be drained and scraped clean to a decent depth to have a good fishing lake, this would also allow additional boating. But that costs 5 million and trucking mud through South Downs so it will stay as is.
It's a pretty gross lake even as LA waterways goes. It normally has high bacteria counts from what I remember (I know several individuals who got staph from swimming). There are also some sewage lines that still run into it I am sure. The interstate also dumps a lot of heavy metals and roadway pollutants into it when it rains.
It's pretty dirty all around.
