Marine Lake is North Wales’ only salt-water lake – fed from the nearby estuary. It was opened on 24 May 1895, which was Queen Victoria’s birthday. Rhyl Urban District Council informed by telegram that it had made this “the occasion for turning water into their new Marine Lake in honour of Her Majesty”. The culvert at the railway bridge was opened in the morning and the water started to flow into the lake. In the evening the three valves at the Foryd Bridge culvert were also opened. A regatta, aquatic fete and gala were held on 6 July and described in the local press as one of the most successful days in the town’s history.
