"The device [wheels in a wood structure] set in a cove at the northwest corner of the lake, is part of a conveyor owned by a company that harvested ice from the lake until the 1950s. Part of the sluiceway remains on the lake bottom and can be seen when the light is right and the water low." - “Bygone Bar Harbor: A Postcard Tour of Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park” by Earl Brechlin, 2002, p. 58.
