Book Details

First Sentence

"Lake Mattamuskeet is the largest natural lake in North Carolina. There are no underground springs or headwaters feeding into the huge lake. The lake is a wetlands depression that fills with rain water and the natural runoff from the land around it. Lake Mattamuskeet is one of the most beautiful natural resources in North Carolina, located on the east coast half way between Maine and Florida. Since 1934, the U. S. Government has owned Lake Mattamuskeet and it makes up most of Mattamuskeet National Wildlife Refuge."
