Description
The historic Government Ditch, one of many man-made features within the naturally-formed lake. The Corps of Engineers designed and dredged this canal -- which bypasses the twisting course of the "Old River" (in actuality, the original course of Big Cypress Bayou) -- in the 1870s to provide a shortcut for steamboat traffic, saving them several miles of arduous travel.
