Skeleton Lake is one of Alberta's premier recreational lakes and is located approximately 160 kilometres northeast of Edmonton, Alberta. Overdevelopment and excessive water diversions together with more than a decade of low precipitation have caused the lake level to drop by about 2 metres since 1997.
SLSA - Skeleton Lake Stewardship Association
The Skeleton Lake Stewardship Association (SLSA) is a registerd charity and non-profit society with over 1300 members. SLSA is dedicated to the preservation of Skeleton Lake as a thriving, healthy, aquatic environment for fisheries, wildlife and recreation and is actively working to reverse the harmful effects of human impacts on this beautiful lake.
SLSA board members met with senior members of Alberta Environment to review the recently completed report on the wetlands at the West end of the lake. Later that day SLSA met with the Beaver River Watershed Alliance to review the report with them as well.
Board members had a very productive meeting with the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans to discuss the Skeleton Lake fishery.
