Lost Lagoon

In Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, close to the entrance to Stanley Park, west of Georgia Street, lies a 16.6-hectare artificial body of water known as Lost Lagoon. The lake is surrounded by a 1.75-kilometer trail. Robert Harold Williams built an illuminated fountain next to the lake to mark the city's golden jubilee. Numerous bird species, including the non-native mute swan, Canada geese, and numerous types of ducks, including mallard ducks, and great blue herons use it as a nesting area. The northern shore is typically home to a large number of turtles as well.

Users of the park frequently visit Lost Lagoon to walk the perimeter trail and observe birds. The Lost Lagoon Nature House, a former boathouse that currently serves as an educational facility for the Stanley Park Ecology Society, is located on the southeast corner of the lake. Although it hasn't happened often lately, Lost Lagoon can freeze during a cold snap, allowing for ice hockey and public skating. Lost Lagoon is one of the best lakes to visit in Vancouver.
