Lake Claire (Alberta)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lake Claire is a large Albertan lake, located west of Lake Athabasca in Wood Buffalo National Park. It lies between the mouths of Peace River and Athabasca River, and is part of the Peace-Athabasca Delta system.
The lake has a total area of 1,436 km² (with 21 km² island area) and lies at an elevation of 213 m.[1] It is the largest lake located entirely within Albertan boundaries. Lake Athabasca, which straddles the border with Saskatchewan, is larger.
The lake is fed by Birch River and McIvor River, and the lake system also contains Baril Lake and Mamawi Lake. The waters are discharged in the Peace River, finding their way to the Arctic Ocean through the Slave River, Great Slave Lake and Mackenzie River.
