Chestermere Lake
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chestermere Lake is a man-made reservoir in Chestermere, Alberta, Canada.
It was built in the 1880's by the Canadian Pacific Railway, for irrigation of the area between Calgary and Strathmore. It is presently used mainly for recreation purposes, such as swimming, windsurfing, fishing and skating (in winter). The town of Chestermere surrounds the lake on three sides. The Trans-Canada Highway follows the northeastern shore, while the railway tracks pass by the southern shore.
The lake covers a surface of 2.65 km² and has a maximum depth of 3.5 m.[1] It drains into the Bow River.
