An artificial lake on the North Saskatchewan River lining the David Thompson Highway between Saskatchewan River Crossing and Nordegg. It was created in 1972 with the construction of the Bighorn Dam. Although man-made, it still possesses the pastel blue colour of other glacial lakes in the Rocky Mountains. During the coldest months of winter the lake draws photographers for the frozen methane bubbles formed by decomposition of plants at the bottom of the lake.
