Took this yesterday. It is Nimrod Dam and Lake. The Dam blocks Fourche Lafave River. The Fourche LaFave River forms Nimrod Lake. Fourche means “fork” in French, and LaFave is believed to be the name of a French family who lived in the early 1800’s where the Fourche LaFave meets the Arkansas River. Nimrod, the great-grandson of Noah, was a mighty hunter. The lake is aptly named “Nimrod” because the wild surroundings have an abundance of game for the hunter.
