Located near a large, major university, what could possibly go wrong?

I went to lakes to test some new lure action in late 80s before going on bass fishing trip. Didn’t really expect to catch anything just wanted to see action. i caught five bass all in 2-4 pound range in an hour. it was unreal

These lakes have left such fond memories for me. When I first arrived on campus in 1969, I couldn't believe what a great campus, due in large part to the nearness to these lakes. I got around on a bicycle the entire time (5 years) at LSU. I held a part time job at the Pak'a Sac near the Provost Volvo dealership overlooking one of the lakes. (I believe the dealership is gone.) When I got married as a grad student, my wife and I spent much time walking/cycling the area because we simply couldn't afford other kinds of recreation.
If I could contribute a little bit to the beautification of the lakes, I wouldn't hesitate to do so.

They need to make the lakes at least 6 feet deep or the vegetation growth will be bad. Needs to be deep enough to keep a lot of sunlight from reaching the bottom.

This is La, wishful thinking UNLESS there's dedicated clean-up regularly.
Nobody litters & shits where they live better than Louisianians.

Multiple 10 plus pound bass have been caught in the LSU lakes. I beleive at one point it held the Louisiana record
ETA: it did used to hold the state record at 15.38 pounds. Guy caught it in 1992.

Looks incredible and long over due. The lakes look like a sewer water dump these days when driving down I-10

The smell was so bad today

Just like anything amazing and new in BR, it’ll become dark and ruined.

Wow

Let's hope not because it looks amazing.
That said, I can't help but worry that Broome and the clown show Metro Council fill frick this thing up somehow.

It will be nice for about a year or so until the powers that be stop taking care of it and the culture takes over.
Just how I see it playing out unless LSU owns it and takes care of it like they do campus.
