Based on folk legend, Freshwater Lake took place from the story of a princess who married a man from another kingdom, which was not sanctioned by her parents.

When leaving the palace, the princess received a message not to look back during the trip.

The rain and tears of the Princess are then believed to be the source of the formation of Freshwater Lake.
