The lake was widely publicized between 1966 and 1979 by the nationally known outdoorsman Grits Gresham, host (with Curt Gowdy) of ABC's The American Sportsman and author of numerous books and columns on hunting, fishing, and guns.

The American historian, Henry C. Dethloff, grew up on Cane River and as a youth swam the entire width of the stream underwater.[1]
