The correct name of this park is Beavershills Lake. That's plural: Beavershills. Please see Dick Dekker's book Prairie Water: Wildlife at Beavershills Lake Alberta; University of Alberta Press; 1991, 1998.
I changed them and someone reverted. The title of this entry also needs to be changed.
Dried up?
[edit]When did the lake become dry? The satellite photos in Google Maps and Bing Maps still show a large area of water. Those photos can't be more than a few years old. Indefatigable (talk) 18:35, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
- In 2002, the drought year, see this google maps image from 2006. 117Avenue (talk) 03:19, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
- The article lists the lake's maximum depth. This seems incongruous for a dried up lake. Pburka (talk) 03:19, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
- According to http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/canada/birds-at-risk-as-prairie-lakes-dry-up-51207587.html the lake is threatened, but not dried up, at least as of 2009. I'm going to update the article. Pburka (talk) 03:24, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
- The picture was taken from the "shore" of the lake. Do you see any water? 117Avenue (talk) 04:18, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
- That sounds like WP:Original research. Do you have a reliable source that it's dried up? The Winnipeg Free Press says that, as of 2009, it had lost 1/4 of its depth. Also, I note that the photo was taken in July. Prairie pothole lakes like this one are fed primarily by snow melt so the lake may have been larger earlier in the year.

I have been there on a number of occasions during the past 2 summers and find no water. I'll be back looking in the spring. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.101.132.125 (talk) 14:53, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
