Green Lake
Provincial Park is 337 hectares containing open rangeland and forests
of aspen and lodgepole pine.
The lake
itself is 14 kilometres long, averaging 1.5 kilometres in width with
an irregular shoreline of approximately 57 kilometres. The low flushing
rate combined with the chemical composition in these warm shallow waters
creates a greenish hue, hence the name.
A motorboat
or canoe can be used to explore the shores and islands of this park
making bird and wildlife viewing opportunities excellent. Local business
operators provide boat rentals, supplies and even horseback riding.
LOCATION
