Little Seneca Lake is a reservoir located near the Boyds community in Montgomery County, Maryland. The lake was created by the construction of a dam on Little Seneca Creek. It was built to provide an emergency water supply for the metropolitan Washington, D.C. area, and it also provides a recreational amenity for the public. The lake is located in Black Hill Regional Park. Fishing and boating facilities are available at the park. The lake was completed in 1984 and the water supply dam is operated by the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC).〔Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection (MCDEP), Rockville, MD (2003).("Chapter 3: Water Supply Systems." ) ''Ten-Year Comprehensive Water Supply and Sewerage Systems Plan, 2003-2012.'' pp. 3-6, 3-11.〕 WSSC shares the drinking water resource with two adjacent public water suppliers, the Washington Aqueduct and the Fairfax County Water Authority.〔Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission.
