Sport fish in the lake include northern pike, yellow perch, and lake whitefish. There are a unique mix of land uses in the lake watershed, which include undisturbed bush and forest, agriculture, two coal mines with active and reclaimed areas, three coal-fired power plants, major transportation (road and rail) corridors, residences, and recreation. The mines supply fuel for the power plants, operated by the TransAlta Utilities Corporation (TAU). Industrial wastewaters, runoff and cooling water from the Whitewood mine and Wabamun power plant are discharged to the lake. Over time, TAU operations associated with the mines and power plants in the watershed have caused cumulative and ongoing impacts on the lake level.

  • Lake Characteristics
    Antler Lake State of the Watershed Report 4.0 Lake Characteristics 4.1 General Description Antler Lake is a small, shallow, and highly productive lake, located 35 km east of the City of Edmonton in the Beaverhill sub‐watershed. It is comprised of a shallow, main basin with two islands located in the southern end of the lake: Antler Lake Island and Hazelnut Island. Hazelnut Island is connected by road access to the main shore and has several lakeshore properties (Figure 40). Antler is a polymictic lake, meaning, the lake mixes most days throughout the open water season because it is relatively shallow and exposed. Currently, Antler Lake is classified as hypereutrophic, with very high biological productivity (Table 5; AEP, 2018b).

The purpose was to find out if increasing onshore development had resulted in changes to water quality since the previous 1983 study by Hardy Associates, and how development in the drainage basin should be handled to preserve the recreational value of the lake.
