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.

  • Moose Lake Handbook
    Moose Lake Our Past - Our Home - Our Future Moose Lake has a rich history starting with the fur trade and continually evolving to today with over 10,000 visitors annually. The area is under pressure from development such as subdivisions, lakelots, campgrounds, industry, agriculture and recreation; as well as the wildlife that make the lake their home. The Moose Lake Watershed Society (MLWS) recognizes that watershed management is vital to conserving the lake and maintaining its ecological value that we all can enjoy. The Moose Lake Water- shed Society is pleased to provide this handbook, which helps us achieve our vision as well as work to complete our Moose Lake Watershed Management Plan goals. Vision To maintain a healthy and func- tioning Moose Lake Watershed and recognize the importance of living within the capacity of the natural environment as a means of ensuring sustainable environ- mental, economic and social values.
