Before this man made entrance was cut the natural entrance to the lakes would be blocked by sand in times of low flow, a later strong flow would cause the lake to create a new entrance further along the coast. When the river trade developed a safe, navigable entrance was required.

The accommodation at Goldsmith's in the forest is near the top of the North arm of the lake, where the granite was loaded onto the barges to complete its journey to the newly dug entrance.
