This lake, which is very easy to spot using google earth (30 miles west of Pt Albiernie on Vancouver Island), was probably modified to hold more water by logging operations which dominated the region, and so it is probably heavily sedimented and contains a fair number of sinkers and waterlogged tree sections, which on occasion can re-surface in a mysterious fashion, not to mention more recent logs which could have been washed into the lake during flooding events. It is connected to the ocean (which is home to some very large creatures such as the giant pacific octopus) through its outlet and so the possibility of something anadromous or catadromous making it up into the lake and finding the cold dark mud a suitable place to spend a part of its presumed life-cycle would be an interesting prospect...eels, y'know. If you inspect the lake using Google Earth you'll notice there are quite a few nice pics of the lake. Typical second growth cascadian setting...very nice...but then lakes are particularly subject to atmospheric illusions like fata morgana and of course wakes from boats or waves, which in the right condition look very sinuous on the surface as they move with an almost serpentine fluid motion, naturally enough. My thoughts are that if this were a particularly large eel or lamprey or hagfish or some other mud-lovin' critter of unusual size, it's likely doing what they are sometimes noted for doing in the oceanic realm, which is waiting in the dark cold mud using minimal energy until the environmental signals which tell it that it's time to feed, fight, flee or..uh,..reproduce, stimulate them. I hope those examing the lake have a good time, good weather and good luck. It's a beautiful time of the year as the vine maples that are typical along the lake shores there become brilliant red.

And how deep is this lake? I seem to recall Cameron Lake being really, really shallow. What are the dimensions of this lake? And how deep is this lake?
