History Construction of the Damn began in the year 1970 by Branigar Lake Properties of Wisconsin. The area was developed from around 2,500 acres of rolling hills and farmland. There are currently 1,163 lots and 700 acres of a "greenway" system. The "greenway" system includes the shoreline, wooded areas, trails, the campground, and the entire clubhouse area. Fish varities were initally stocked into Dutch Hollow Lake. Now the lake has a balance of Northern Pike, Walleyed Pike, Large Mouth Bass, Yellow Perch, Crappie, Blue Gill, and other Sunfish.

Environment Dutch Hollow Lake is a drainage lake. This means that the lake needs to be drained. The actual lake is around 200 acres and its about 45 feet in depth. The Lake can hold over 1.3 billion gallons of water when full. The shoreline goes for about eight and a half miles.
