Hunter Lake
Hunter Lake is a proposed 2,649-acre (10.72 km2) reservoir to be created in Illinois, United States, by damming Horse Creek, a tributary of the Sangamon River. If the lake is built, its construction would flood a section of bottomland in southeastern Sangamon County, Illinois near the city of Springfield, between two other lakes, Lake Springfield and Lake Sangchris, to an elevation of 568.7 feet above sea level. See, http://supplementalwater.cwlp.com/Documents.aspx p. 2-22. The lake is a project of City Water, Light & Power, the local municipal electric utility.
