Haunted Lake (55.3 km)
Haunted Lake, located 2 km from Alix, is a good spot for wildlife viewing and recreation. The area supports birds like the killdeer, sora, greater yellowlegs, black-crowned night heron, eared grebe, red-necked grebe, spotted sandpiper, American white pelican, black tern, cedar waxwing, yellow warbler, eastern kingbird, tree swallow, purple martin, and black-capped chickadee. Other wildlife includes mule deer, white-tailed deer, moose, coyote, and squirrels, with vegetation such as willows, trembling aspen, and cattails. The site has washrooms, garbage bins, a gazebo with picnic tables, a campground, a golf course, and a large parking lot. The lake is suitable for swimming, kayaking, and canoeing, but water levels can be low in dry years. There are no fish in the lake, so it is not a fishing destination.
