From the picture window in the living room or from the front porch, facing Southwest, you can enjoy a breathtaking sunrise and the beautiful backdrop of Furnace Mountain.

The lake is called a "flow" because any body of water impounded behind a man made dam can be designated as a "flow". This dam, after several failures in the late 1800's has survived since 1904, and in 2000 was resurfaced and encased in sufficient cement to withstand years and years of North Country winter ravages. The refurbishing of the dam has provided a very stable water level which provides excellent fishing for small and Iarge mouth bass, northern pike and pan fish. For the history buffs, evidence of the early attempts to mine approximately 600 tons of iron ore still remain below the dam.
