Map of the Area

Any maps and map views are for general information only. Do not rely on them for navigation or to determine legal boundaries.

Other Information

The south portion of this site is rolling terrain with mainly aspen forest and dense shrubs; the north portion contains George Lake and consists of post-fire successional dense, young aspen.

The intervening land between the north and south portions of George Lake (OC) Natural Area belongs to the University of Alberta and private land owners [1]. A site visit in 2020 indicated some limited human disturbance, in particular foot and ATV traffic [2]. There is little information available about the PNT portion.
