Alright, this site gives me hope. I have bought my land, had my lake site surveyed, but... I have heard figures from $65,000 to $275,000 to build this lake with a 430' dam. I am using a very experienced lake building surveyor and an engineer he recommended but I am worried I could easily pay too much to get my 20 acre lake built. Question is: Does anyone have experience in pricing a lake from start to finish (not adding fish, ect). I am going the route of actually being the contractor and hiring the subs but wonder if I should just hire a lake building company. Any references for the latter would be appreciated as well as good overall advice.

thanks in advance!!!
