Lake Roland is a 100-acre lake in Baltimore County, Maryland. Although located outside of the city limits, it is owned and managed by Baltimore City. The lake is contained within Robert E. Lee Park. It is an artificial impoundment created by a dam on the Jones Falls, and is also fed by two smaller streams, Towson Run and Roland Run. The lake supports wildlife including Canada geese, largemouth bass, and common carp.
