Mattamuskeet Lake, N.C. |
Caption |
This pumping station and locks, located on U.S. 264 between Englehard and Swan Quarter, was once used in an unsuccessful attempt to drain the 50,000 acre lake and reclaim the land for farming. The Government purchased the area in 1934 and a waterfowl sanctuary was established. The pumping station was converted to an administration building and lodge. The area is famous for its hunting and fishing. |
