    Black Dog Lake is a beautiful area surrounded by woods and trails and was historically used for cooling water heated for making electrical power at Black Dog Generating Station. It is a floodplain lake that has complex ecosystems and, when experiencing flooding, spreads water, sediment, and aquatic life.
