Other Information

3 PNTs and 1 PRA. Much of the lake is protected by three PNTs. The Beaver Lake First Nation (131) occupies a large section of the south shore of the lake. Beaver Lake PRA occupies two non-contiguous sites on the north shore. The balance of the land is privately owned [1].

Headwaters and History. The lake is the headwater of the Beaver River and both have appeared on maps dating back to 1790. These are traditional lands for the Woodland Cree who were assigned reserve 131 under Treaty 6 [2].

Inflows, Outflows and Churchill. Nearby lakes and streams drain into the lake including Elinor, Lac la Croix, Roseland, and Normandeau Lakes – although some of these are intermittent. The outlet is on the west side of the lake. Despite the river’s proximity to Edmonton, it empties into the Churchill River as opposed to the North Saskatchewan (which flows to the south) or to the Athabasca (which flows north of the Beaver River) [2, 3].

Recreational Lake. Popular for boating and fishing
