Dusty Rose Lake is an anoxic lake located in north region of Tweedsmuir Park in British Columbia, Canada. It gets its name from its pink coloring.[1]

The lake is unique among other lakes which have a similar coloring as it is not a salt water lake, but rather gets its coloring from pigmentation from the surrounding environment.[2] The glacial meltwater feeding the lake gets its lavender hue from the particulate of the surrounding rock which is purple/pink in colour.[3]

Contents

The lake is completely devoid of any type of life, including micro-organisms because of the anoxic waters (water devoid of oxygen).

Geography

The lake is located in a remote region of Tweedsmuir Park. There are no official walking trails that allow hikers to visit the lake.[4]
