==History==
Authorised by the United States Congress in the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1946 as the Jim Woodruff Lock and Dam Project,〔U.S. Army Corps of Engineers: Corps Lakes Gateway〕 construction began the following year. With the dam completed in 1952,〔Lakes Online: Lake Seminole〕 in 1957 the lake was opened.〔 The project was expected to cost $29 million USD,〔Palm Beach Post, 4 October 1947〕 but when completed had required $46.5 million USD.〔
In 2000 a Tallahassee man, Michael Williams, apparently drowned during a duck-hunting accident on the Jackson County side of the lake. However, his body was never found after a 44-day search, the only time a body has never been recovered after a drowning on the lake. Searchers assumed it had been eaten by alligators, but several years later learned that alligators do not feed in winter. Other oddities with the incident convinced them to suspect foul play; the case remains under investigation.
