Abstract:

No one knows how Lake Mattamuskeet in Hyde County originated. The waters are quite shallow, being five feet at their deepest point. At eighteen miles long and six miles wide, it is the state's largest freshwater lake. Total water surface is 40,000 acres. Stevenson discusses the history of the lake and what it is like in the different seasons.
