I've been commuting across the spillway to and from work for almost 6 years now and have always wondered what this is or what it used to be. Any of you educated fellas want to teach me something?

I've always called it the sea wall. Not sure what it actually is though.

It was for the Christmas Tree program. Where the Corp of Engineers used the trees to form a breakwall.

I was told it was part of an old fishing pier. If you look at it on google earth you can see the old levee system close to this structure on the other side of I10.

I heard it was an old cattle chute they used to load cattle on barges for transport across the lake... and there are more than that one... at least that's what the people at turtle cove told us on a trip we took down there... who knows if its true or not

nothing like doing 30 in your boat and hitting the remnants of a submerged piling.

I have always wondered about those too.
