Culler Lake
Culler Lake is a man-made lake in Frederick, Maryland.[2][3] The lake is used as part of stormwater management and it is also a gathering place for community recreation[4] and it was restored and revitalized in 2016.[5] The lake is located in Baker park.[6][7]
In 1938 the lake was originally called Kidwiler. In 1940 the lake was renamed Culler Lake in honor of Mayor Lloyd Culler.[5] The lake is man made and it serves as part of a stormwater management system that protects downtown Frederick Maryland from flooding. In 2016 the lake was dredged and 500 dump trucks of debris and sediment was removed.[4][8] The city stocks the lake with fish and festivals are held there.[9]
