The west, north, and northeast shores of Syracuse Lake are bluffs and hills. The east
shore is marshy. The shore south of Turkey Creek, the outlet, is also marshy, and these
marshes extend along both sides of the Channel between Syracuse Lake and the main lake
(Turkey Lake). Pickwick Park is located on a gravelly shore less than 10 feet above the
level of the lake. Between Pickwick Park and Eppert's is the Gordoniere Marsh
extending northwest to the Channel.
Pickwick Park and the land to the west of it is surrounded by the main lake, the Channel
and the Gordoniere Marsh and is known as British Island. (Pickwick Park is on the north
shore of the main lake (Turkey Lake) a half mile east of the channel.)
