   What is Lake Merritt known for?

   • Lake Merritt is a tidal slough that is part of the San Francisco Bay. In 1869, Dr. Samuel Merritt donated 155 acres that included the headwaters of "Indian Slough" and money to build a dam at the 12th Street Bridge, across the "neck" of the inlet. This created the present day lake. It became known as "Merritt's Lake" and later as Lake Merritt.
