- Der Lake Drummond ist ein Süßwassersee und liegt in der Mitte des Great Dismal Swamp im US-Bundesstaat Virginia. Dieser Sumpf erstreckt sich in der Atlantischen Küstenebene des südwestlichen Virginia und nordwestlichen North Carolina. Die Oberfläche des Sees umfasst etwa 13 km² (3.142 Acres) und die maximale Wassertiefe erreicht 2 m. Nachdem sich die Appalachen vor 400 Millionen Jahren gebildet hatten, entstanden Seen, die jedoch aufgrund der stetigen Erosion durch zahlreiche Flüsse entwässert wurden. Seit der letzten Eiszeit haben sich keine neuen Seen gebildet, so dass der Lake Drummond zu den beiden einzigen natürlichen Süßwasserseen in Virginia gehört. Der zweite See ist der Mountain Lake im Giles County. Der Ursprung des Lake Drummond ist umstritten, für die ovale Form ist möglicherweise der Einschlag eines Meteoriten verantwortlich. Eine zweite Theorie besagt, der See könnte durch einen Brand, der eine Vertiefung in das Torfmoor gefressen hat, entstanden sein. (de)
- Le lac Drummond est un lac naturel situé dans la région du Grand marais lugubre dans la plaine côtière des États de Caroline du Nord et de Virginie. D'une superficie de 13 km2, il n'est profond que de 2 mètres. Il est géré par l'United States Fish and Wildlife Service. Le lac a été nommé en hommage à William Drummond, gouverneur de Caroline du Nord. (fr)
- Lake Drummond is a freshwater lake at the center of the Great Dismal Swamp, a marshy region on the Coastal Plain of southeastern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina between Norfolk, Virginia, and Elizabeth City, North Carolina, in the United States. Its surface area is approximately 3,142 acres (13 km2) and its maximum depth is 6 ft (2 m). It is managed by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. Geologists believe the Great Dismal Swamp was formed when the continental shelf experienced sudden settling. The entire swamp is underlain by a layer of peat. Several theories exist about the lake's origin. Some postulate that it was created by a large underground peat fire 3,500–6,000 years ago. Native American legends speak of "the fire bird" creating Lake Drummond. Other theories include a meteorite impact and a tectonic shift. Lake Drummond is one of only two natural freshwater lakes in Virginia. The other, Mountain Lake in Giles County, is also of unknown origin. Curiously, both are lakes essentially on top of hills. Drummond is the highest point in the Dismal Swamp, with nine small ditches flowing out of it. The precise time of the Great Dismal Swamp's discovery and settlement is not known, but archaeological evidence indicates human occupation began nearly 13,000 years ago. By 1650, few Native Americans remained in the area, and European settlers showed little interest in the swamp. In 1665, William Drummond, a future governor of North Carolina, found the lake which now bears his name. Several centuries of exploitation and logging reduced the swamp to about 50% of its original size. It was common practice for merchant ships of the time to fill up water casks with the dark-stained water from Lake Drummond. With its high tannin content, the water stayed fresher longer on trans-Atlantic voyages than water from other sources. Lake Drummond and much of the Great Dismal Swamp are within the bounds of the Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge, officially established through the Dismal Swamp Act of 1974. The refuge includes almost 107,000 acres (43,000 ha) of forest wetlands. North Carolina established a state park to protect another portion of the swamp. Dismal Swamp State Park protects 22 square miles (57 km2) of forested wetland. Due to relatively low pH levels caused by the leaching of acidic materials from surrounding peat soils, the lake has a relatively low level of nutrients. A few species of fish are present, including crappie, bowfin, and longnose gar. (en)
