Coal Lake
Coal Lake is a long, sinuous lake located approximately 60 km southeast of the city of Edmonton, just northeast of the city of Wetaskiwin. The lake is in one of the glacial meltwater channels formed when the 4,000 km2 of Lake Edmonton, which existed for roughly 100 years at the end of the last ice age, breached its ice dam and drained within a few weeks.Coal Lake
