hello- why don't you ask this question on the " camping at WDW " forum, I bet you they could answer your question , anything you want to know about Ft. Wilderness is on that board . I read on that board alot but can't answer your question, good luck .
It is a canal. When we were there in August it was covered with a slight case of algea (but didn't stink). I dont know if there are fish in there or not if thats what you're after.
