According to Star-News, a group of 18 boats full of cast and crew members descended upon the lake to film the afternoon scenes featuring Reed and Bean's characters. After sunset, they began filming the night sequences, which involved a boat explosion. Fans of the DC comics are likely familiar with such an explosion being the moment Alec Holland met his demise, which birthed the elemental anti-hero known as the Swamp Thing.

The explosion scene required a government-approved closure traffic, in order to make sure oncoming motorists were not distracted or otherwise caught off-guard by the pyrotechnics. A video of the explosion was captured and uploaded to YouTube by Star-News.
