  • PIGEON LAKE, ALBERTA …A Brief History
    PIGEON LAKE, ALBERTA …a brief history Pigeon Lake is one of the largest and most extensively used recreational waters in Alberta. The lake covers an area of 96.7 km2 (37.3 sq. mi), and has a maximum depth of 9.1 m (30 ft.) It is an early tributary of the Battle River, connected through the Pigeon Lake Creek with no large water inflows. It is served by hundreds of fresh water streams and artesian wells, with levels highly dependent on snow and rain conditions. The water freezes over in November of each year and over the past half century has thawed to open water as early as April 16 in 2016 and as late as May 28th in 2013. Historical records detail a large artesian well on the northeast corner of the lake used for fresh drinking water by Nakoda tribes and the Algonquin Cree who travelled the region as early as 1725. Anthony Henday, one of the first of the British explorers, travelled the area as an emissary for the Hudson Bay Company in 1754 when the lake was called “hmi-hmoo” by the Cree Indians. The name in English meant "Woodpecker Lake." In 1858 the name was changed to Pigeon Lake in recognition of Passenger Pigeons, considered one of the prettiest doves in the world. They were said to have numbered in the millions and unfortunately were hunted to extinction. In the mid-19th century Pigeon Lake became a gathering place for First Nations people from numerous tribes and therefore a desirable spot for the location of both a Hudson Bay Company Trading Post and a Christian Mission.

  • What We Are Doing to Deal with Nuisance Algae Blooms
    What We Are Doing to deal with Nuisance Algae Blooms The Alliance of Pigeon Lake Municipalities (APLM) and the Pigeon Lake Watershed Association (PLWA) are actively addressing the underlying causes of the lake's poor water quality and what can be done to improve it. Thanks to the support of provincial staff and for funding from the municipal, provincial and federal governments, as well as private donations to the PLWA, much has been learned about what affects our lake's water quality and what we can do about it. The consensus is - the area of biggest impact on the lake is the phosphorous in the lake bottom sediments but a significant impact on the lake is also through the runoff which carries nutrients. The good news is that runoff is the one area where, together, we can make a difference for the health of the lake. This brochure is to help ensure that you are informed of the many initiatives that are underway to improve the health of Pigeon Lake.
