Is Battle Ground Lake Bottomless?
No Comments
Battle Ground Lake’s depth is believed to be about 60 feet near the center of the lake, but a few lake users have reported deeper regions believed to be volcanic cracks in the bedrock supporting the lake basin. Louise McKay Allworth Tucker, a local historian to Battle Ground, WA, explains in her book that, although unproven, a persistent legend claims Battle Ground Lake is indeed bottomless. In other words, no one know how deep the lake actually is.
There is a song by Jonathan David Helser entitled “Endless Ocean, Bottomless Sea.” Some of the lyrics are…
In the beginning, You were singingIn the end You’ll still be, singing over meIn this moment, You’re right beside meYou’re everywhere, You’re in the air that I breathe
You are an endless oceanA bottomless sea
All those angels, they are swimmingIn this ocean and they still can find no shoreDay and night, night and dayThey keep seeing new sides of Your face
You are an endless oceanA bottomless sea
