Diver's Paradise

The original city of Higden is located at the bottom of the lake. Plagued by flooding, the town and associated cemeteries were moved to a nearby hill and the Little Red River was impounded to form the lake.

There are several areas that divers can explore the town's underwater ruins, some even accessible without equipment.
