Bayview Lake is an artificial lake on Village Creek, which was impounded by Bayview Dam in 1910 to create a 3.5 billion gallon reservoir of industrial water which was pumped to U.S. Steel's Ensley Works, and later to Fairfield Works. The dam was constructed just above Venison Branch, subsuming the former outfalls of Corbet Branch and Camp Branch.

The 530-acre lake was connected to the Central Water Works' pump station at Edgewater by a half-mile long concrete-lined intake tunnel.
