Children take part in the Junior Fishing Rodeo during the annual Arnold Engineering Development Center Family Picnic on the shore of Woods Reservoir in 1968. Woods Reservoir, created by the 1952 completion of the Elk River Dam to supply cooling water to AEDC test facilities, opened for public fishing and recreation on May 30, 1953. Public use of the manmade lake was a topic of focus for then-AEDC Commander Brig. Gen. Samuel Harris following construction of the dam and leading up to the dedication of the waterbody as Woods Reservoir in July 1953. (U.S. Air Force photo)
