Beaverhill Lake
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Beaverhill Lake (Cree: amisk-wa-chi-sakhahigan) is a large lake in central Alberta, Canada.
It is located 70 km southeast of Edmonton, near the village of Tofield. The lake is an important bird habitat, and has been designated as "National Nature Viewpoint" by the Canadian Nature Federation in 1981.
The lake has a total area of 139 km², and a maximum depth of only 2.3 m. It lies in the hydrographic basin of North Saskatchewan River.[1]
The Beaverhill Natural Area was established in 1987 to protect the lake and its surrounding area. Beaverhill Lake Heritage Rangeland Natural Area is also established on the shores of the lake.[2]
