From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gustine Lake was a small, man-made lake located in the East Falls section of Northwest Philadelphia. Today, it is the site of the Gustine Lake Interchange, located between Kelly Drive and U.S. Route 1.[1] As late as 1954, this lake was part of the Wissahickon Valley Park.[2][3]

The City Avenue Bridges roughly goes over the area that was once Gustine Lake
