  1. This question ended up in the Genealogy section.  You probably couldn't find the lake because it is one word not two.  Puddingstone Lake.

    Here's a beautiful photo - http://www.rwongphoto.com/RW1044.html

    "Who was Mr. Puddingstone?" a young college student asked recently. Alas, there was no Mr. Puddingstone for whom the Lake and Dam might be named.

    According to Mrs. Harry Walker, our first Historian, its name was suggested when a group of friends walked from Grand Ave. (now Damien) to the Falls about 1888 for a picnic. Some of the (conglomerate) rocks in the area seemed to them to resemble raisins in a pudding, so they decided to call the place "Puddingstone: Falls. (You can still see these rocks in places near the Lake - notably on the hill just to the SW of Brackett Field and near the present Hot Tubs.)
