Lake Phelps is North Carolina's second largest natural lake. It is located in Washington County on a vast peninsula located between the Albemarle Sound and the Pamlico River. It is believed to be more than 38,000 years old.
Its origin has long puzzled scientists. Some say that its origin is underground springs, wave action, wind, a meteor, glacial activity or a peat burn. It is more or less a round shape.
