Abraham Lake

Abraham Lake, commonly known as Lake Abraham, is Alberta's largest reservoir and an artificial lake. It is situated on the North Saskatchewan River in western Alberta, Canada, in the "Kootenay Plains portion of the Canadian Rockies' front range".

Abraham Lake is a more recent lake on the North Saskatchewan River in Alberta. Although its waters are glacial blue, it wasn't formed by glaciers; rather, the river was dammed in 1972. The Canadian Rockies are frigid in the winter, but now is a fantastic time to witness the lake's well-known bubble phenomena. Methane released by dying plants causes the water to bubble when it freezes. If you smoke, avoid lighting up close to the ice since methane is flammable.

Abraham Lake's primary draw is during the winter when crystal-like formations are formed beneath the surface of the lake as trapped methane bubbles freeze. Many amateur photographers have been to the area in an effort to capture the breathtaking view because of how beautiful these natural formations are. Abraham Lake is one of the most beautiful lakes in Canada.
