Other Information
Lac La Nonne Natural Area has gently to moderately rolling topography with young to mature balsam poplar forest and scattered mature white spruce, small stands of mature white birch and scattered, small sedge wetlands. It provides good wildlife habitat.
European inhabitation dates back to the early 1800s as the lake was an important staging area for the Hudson Bay Company. The overland route to the Klondike included the lake [1]. In recent years, algae blooms in the lake and invasive species have become a concern [2].
DECEMBER 29, 2020 SITE VISIT. A site visit in December showed considerable damage to the NA from off-highway vehicles. This was based on a survey from the access road (FPotter).
