Does the water from the “grudge ditch” ever get into Lake Isom?

Rarely. The colloquial term for the man-made waterway from Reelfoot Lake to the Obion River is the “grudge ditch”. The waterway runs along the eastern boundary of Lake Isom, and a large levee separates the lake from the waterway. Only during periods of extremely high water does water from the “grudge ditch” top the levee and spill over into Lake Isom.
