History

The waters level in Devils Lake began rising in the early 1990s, and more than 400 homes around the lake have been relocated or destroyed. This includes the city of Churchs Ferry, one of two municipalities that have been bought out by government agencies. The other is Penn, although some people remain in both communities.

Devils Lake keeps getting larger because it has no natural river or stream to carry away excess rain and snowmelt.
