Haunted Lake (55.3 km)
Haunted Lake, just 2 km from Alix, is a small, shallow lake surrounded by cattails, bulrushes, aspen woods, and willows, with a campground and a 9-hole golf course nearby. It’s a popular spot for canoeing and kayaking, though visitors should take care along the south shore, where natural springs can create thin ice in winter and provide an air supply for minnows. The lake also offers a day-use area and excellent birdwatching, with species like the Barrow’s Goldeneye, American White Pelican, Double-crested Cormorant, Black-crowned Night-Heron, and a variety of shorebirds. During migration, Greater White-fronted and Snow Geese are often seen passing through.
Access: From the Highway 12 and 601 junction near Alix, head northeast on 601 for 2 km. The lake entrance is on the left.
