This {{convert|7|acre|adj=on}} body of water was formed by partially damming the brook fed from 30 natural springs, including the "Bubble". Children's Lake is home to many ducks, swans, and geese throughout the year. The lake dates to the 1750s when the dam was used to provide water power for iron production. In the mid-18th century, a [[grist mill]] was built by Michael Ege on the southeast shore of the lake, to provide flour and grain for the iron works. This building has been converted into apartments. On January 29, 2022, a fire occurred and caused significant damage to the mill building.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Peterson |first=Wes |date=2022-01-30 |title=Crews battle fire at historic Boiling Springs Mill apartments |url=https://cumberlink.com/news/local/photos-crews-battle-fire-at-historic-boiling-springs-mill-apartments/collection_e53a52e9-4576-5375-bfcb-8a7e65a9d622.html |access-date=2022-03-08 |website=The Sentinel |language=en}}</ref> The building is slated to be converted

On the east shore, remaining from the pre-revolutionary iron forge complex, are the original forge and the iron master's mansion with the remnants of its terraced gardens. This 1795 [[Georgian architecture|Georgian]] structure is the most outstanding example of architecture in the Boiling Springs Historic District and of major historical significance as the home of the Ege family.

The lake feeds into [[Yellow Breeches Creek]]. A picturesque, natural stone three-arch bridge, built in 1854, stands behind the mill, spanning the creek. This limestone trout stream has developed a national reputation for [[fly fishing]]. Where Children's Lake runs into the Yellow Breeches, a one-mile stretch of water known as "The Junction" provides quality [[catch-and-release]] fishing year round. This is arguably the most intensely fished section of water in Pennsylvania when the White Mayfly hatches. Limestone bedrock streams are rich in minerals, which serve as the basis for the trout's food chain and contribute to healthy growth rates for trout.
