- Wakefield Lake had a drain near the southeast corner of the lake. When I was a kid, this drain was open and it was possible to walk down the train for a long time. In one exploration, I had cut my foot from glass (I was carrying a glass jar and accidentally dropped it). I cut my toe badly, so my friend John Shingler ripped his shirt off so I could wrap my good. I needed stitches, and even today there is a part of my toe I cannot feel. Some years later I returned with my brother and friend but the drain was gated.
