Other Information
This Natural Area consists of two quarter-sections of land (SW16 and NE10 of Township 49, Range 4, West of the Fifth Meridian), and is located north of Highway 39 southwest of Edmonton and northeast of Pigeon Lake. Bat Lake is in the west and Alsike in the east.
Both portions of this natural area contain small, marshy lakes ringed by sedge meadow, cattail and willow, a small black spruce-tamarack/sphagnum community, and rolling uplands with aspen and balsam poplar together with some birch and white spruce (Alberta Parks website, 2012).
