Alton outflow
For a college geology class I did some research on the lake. Original outflow was determined to be Alton. If I remember correctly, the Weirs channel was rapids and there was a significant level difference between the main lake and Paugus Bay, which was really just a stream. The dam flooded farmlands and created the bay, and the channel was dredged for navigation. Later dredged some more and the spoil was used to create Weirs Beach.
