[edit] Reason for name

If I understand correctly, the reason for this lake's name is that the water from this lake drains to both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Is this correct? Shouldn't this fact (if true) be put on this page? 164.67.151.60 (talk) 22:16, 4 March 2008 (UTC)Moebius

  • Its a misnomer. The continental divide actually runs to the plateau to the northwest over Two Ocean Pass, which is where Pacific and Atlantic Creek diverge. The lake, which is named after the pass, is well on the western side and only drains into Pacific Creek. CosmicPenguin (Talk) 02:55, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
