    Kipabiskau Lake - 600m southeast of Kipabiskau Regional Park by AL BRADSHAW

    Area has been in drought conditions for past 2 years with minimal rain and spring runoff. 40 year residents do not recall the lake being this low. Water clarity has been excellent although weed growth is becoming an issue with mechanical harvesting done in Aug and planned for next July. No or minimal algae growth with the thought that the increased weed growth is competing for nutrients.
