Marsh Creek Lake
Reservoir in Chester County, Pennsylvania
40°04′N 75°44′W / 40.07°N 75.73°W / 40.07; -75.73Marsh Creek Lake is a man-made lake that resulted from the construction of a dam across Marsh Creek, filling a valley that prompted the relocation of residents from Milford Mills, Pennsylvania to higher ground. The reasons for creating the lake were "... frequent flooding, water shortages and lack of recreational opportunities for nearby population centers...."[1]
The lake is bordered by Marsh Creek State Park to the east and Lyndell, Pennsylvania to the west.
