Silver Lake (aka The Creek, Cockle Creek) - Ocracoke, NC, USA
Silver Lake (Ocracoke harbor) was and still is a tidal creek connected to Pamlico Sound by “the ditch,” the narrow opening used by ferries and other watercraft. Silver Lake was dredged in the 1930s and again during WWII to provide a suitable harbor for larger boats and US Navy vessels.
