About Fishtrap
Fishtrap was once a lively community. However, it no longer exists in its original form. The area where Fishtrap was located became part of a larger project.
The community was flooded when Fishtrap Lake was created. This lake was built to help control floods and provide water. Because of the lake's creation, the homes and buildings of Fishtrap were covered by water.
The Post Office in Fishtrap, which helped people send and receive mail, has also been closed. Today, Fishtrap is mainly remembered as the former location of a community that gave its name to the nearby lake.
