Williams Lake is one of 72 lakes chosen for the Halifax Regional MunicipalityLakeWatchers program because it was identified as being “susceptible to changes in our region” based on “local land uses and other municipal work.”
Raptors, songbirds, waterfowl and many other migratory birds consider Williams Lake and its watershed their home sweet home. They can be spotted in the treed canopy in the Shaw Wilderness Park and tucked in the globally rare Jack Pine-Broom Crowberry community along the glacier-sculpted granite ridges on the Osprey Ridge Trail in the Backlands next to the Williams Lake watershed.
