KCRIVERRAT Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Put the boat in on Beaver yesterday. What a beautiful lake. Any of you guys know the story of that unfinished thing? Somebody had quite the plan but it sure looks like their vision was dashed early. My mother-in-law remembers hearing a story about it but can't recall the details.

Jerry Rapp Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 I would guess they invested in green energy and went broke.
J-Doc Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 I've seen that thing from afar and never knew what it was. Now I have to go look...... Need marine repair? Send our own forum friend "fishinwrench" a message. He will treat you like family!!! I owe fishinwrench a lot of thanks. He has been a great mechanic with lots of patience!
KCRIVERRAT Posted August 24, 2012 Author Posted August 24, 2012 Just a quick bump. Still wondering..... HUMAN RELATIONS MANAGER @ OZARK FISHING EXPEDITIONS

Members tehcoop Posted September 12, 2012 Members Posted September 12, 2012 Are you talking about Monte Ne? Monte Ne is an area in the Ozark hills of the White River valley east of Rogers on the edge of Beaver Lake in the U.S. state of Arkansas. From 1901 until the mid-1930s the area was a health resort and ambitious planned community. It was owned and operated by William Hope Harvey, a financial theorist and one-time U.S. Presidential nominee. Two of its hotels, "Missouri Row" and "Oklahoma Row", were the largest log buildings in the world.[2] Oklahoma Row's "tower section" is one of the earliest examples of a multi-story cement structure.[2] The tower is the only structure of Monte Ne still standing that can be seen at normal lake levels. Monte Ne introduced the first indoor swimming pool in Arkansas,[3] and was also the site of the only presidential convention ever held in Arkansas.[4] The Monte Ne resort was not a financial success, due in part to Harvey's management style. All ventures associated with Harvey's original Monte Ne concept were either never completed or experienced bankruptcy, and shortly after his death the property was sold off in lots. The remainder of the resort and town was almost completely submerged after Beaver Lake was created in 1964. All that remains today are foundations and one severely vandalized structure. The area on the edge of Beaver Lake that is still referred to as Monte Ne, is owned and managed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers and serves mainly as a boat ramp. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_ne_arkansas
Members GENTLE Posted September 13, 2012 Members Posted September 13, 2012 It's in Slate Gap, between Rambo and the Cliftys.
KCRIVERRAT Posted September 13, 2012 Author Posted September 13, 2012 Nah tehcoop, it's not Monte Ne. Interesting story though. HUMAN RELATIONS MANAGER @ OZARK FISHING EXPEDITIONS
