The Lakes Section - There are five natural lakes in Brightwaters that are clustered together. T.B. Ackerson added flocks of swans and Canadian geese to the Lakes, which can still be seen today. Nosrekca Lake (Ackerson spelled backwards), the northernmost lake, was stocked with rainbow trout. The four remaining lakes were stocked with sunfish, perch and bass. T.B. Ackerson also worked to beautify the lakes. He added a cresent-shaped concrete dam to connect Upper Cascade Lake with Lower Cascade Lake.
