Lake Mac
|

|
|
Lake Mackintosh Park & Marina was developed in 1993 and is the primary water reservoir for the citizens of Burlington, NC..
It covers over 1150 acres and has a shoreline of 61 miles.
The lake is fed by two tributaries, the Greater Alamance and Little Alamance Creeks.
These creeks have been the primary source of stocking fish for the lake.
PHOTOS TAKEN ON 19 AUG 2023 -- IT WAS A TOUGH CALL TO PICK EITHER ONE FROM THIS BEAUTIFUL PLACE OR FROM THE BURLINGTON DENTZEL CAROUSEL.
SO, SINCE THE CAROUSEL WON OUT - I'M SHARING THIS RESTFUL PLACE WITH YOU.

The Burlington City Park Carousel is a 3-Row Dentzel Menagerie Carousel built around 1906-1910 at the Dentzel Carousel Company on Germantown Avenue in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The Carousel was purchased by the City of Burlington in the summer of 1948 from Mr. Carl Utoff, the owner of Forest Park Amusement Park in Genoa, Ohio.
Mr. Utoff purchased the machine in about 1924 from Locust Point Amusement Park in Oak Harbor, Ohio.
