The Lagoon springs, from which the lake was formed, turned out to be too warm to allow thick ice to freeze. Never theless, for several years ice was stored in three large ice houses located immediately north of the present water filters for Lagoons swimming pool. It was around this lake that Lagoon was born in 1896.
