When I was a kid, I saw a movie at our local library about a lake creature, possibly a dinosaur, that was trapped on one side of a dam. The creature would follow the lights of the boats at night. A teenaged boy figures out the creature is trying to get to the other side of the dam and helps it get there.
After the creature gets to the other side of the dam, we find out it’s mate was on that side.
I would have watched this movie in the 1980s or early 1990s. It was in color and in English.
Thanks for your help!
The Crater Lake Monster (1977)?
“Loch Ness” (1996)?

Thanks so much for the suggestions! I looked up both The Crater Lake Monster and Loch Ness. Unfortunately, they were not the movie I am looking for.
I did remember another scene. The boy finds a cave with water in it. On the wall of the cave, he finds the fossilized head of one of the creatures.
What I am calling a creature, looked like a dinosaur. It had four flippers, a dinosaur looking head and a short neck. It was like the Loch Ness monster, except it’s neck was much shorter.
The Water Horse (2007)? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0760329/
Thank you for your suggestion of The Water Horse. I saw the movie in question back in the late 1980s or early 1990s.
