Abstract:

Since the late 19th century, this lake has provided hunting grounds for game birds such as geese, ducks, and swans. It has also provided opportunities for hunting guides, the well-known including John Harold Swindell and Percy Carawan. The hunting continues, albeit without guides, and game birds are in abundance, protected by the Wildlife Commission regulations.
