water, canal basin
This lake is part of the C&O Canal from mile 112.5 to mile 113.9. The towpath remained along the straight western bank of the lake. Canal traffic could use this as a resting area, or as a turning basin. It's a good example of using a natural river feature to best advantage in the construction of the canal.
