North End of Chaplin Lake
Waterloo to Calgary in a Cessna 150
We've arrived at the north end of Chaplin Lake, an
"alkali" or salt lake, an important habitat for many
species of shorebirds. (Check out these initiatives.)
Dikes and roads cutting across the water are for
saline extraction operations.
The Trans-Canada Highway and Canadian Pacific
Railroad also skirt around the north edge of the
lake. An obliging train provides some bright red
colour as it rolls by.
Friday, July 11 - Leg 11: Regina to Swift Current
