The lake is unusual in that there is an large 35 acre (142,000 m²) island in the middle of the lake, Apple Island. The island was frequently inhabited by local [[Native Americans]] before the coming of Western settlers, who later planted an apple orchard on the island, giving rise to the current name of the lake. Apple Island is now abandoned and has been designated a protected [[wildlife sanctuary]]. The small Cedar Island is near the western shore.

Morihei Ueshiba's Art of [[Aikido]] is heavily influenced by his study of [[Daito Ryu|Daito-ryu Aiki-jutsu]] which he was instructed in by [[Takeda Sokaku]]. On the spiritual side he was influenced by [[Deguchi Onisaburo]], founder of the pacifistic [[Omoto-kyo]] sect. In [[1927]] master Ueshiba moved to [[Tokyo]] where he founded his first [[dojo]], which still exists today under the name [[Hombu Dojo]]. In [[1942]] he left [[Tokyo]] and moved to the prefecture of [[Iwama]] where the term [[Aikido]] was first used as a name for his art. In [[1946]] [[Morihiro Saito]] began studying under O-Sensei in [[Iwama]] which he did until Ueshiba’s passing in 1969. In [[1959]] [[Itsuo Tsuda]] also began studying under O-Sensei.
