Elk Lakes (British Columbia)

Elk Lakes (British Columbia):

                              Elk Lake is a large lake located in Elk/Beaver Lake Regional Park

 in Saanich, British Columbia. Elk Lake and Beaver Lake are actually one lake as a shallow

 channel connects them. Elk/Beaver lake was known as the "Freshwater Playground 

of Victoria" in its heyday, the 1930s and 1940s. However, with the completion of the

 Pat Bay highway in the 1950s, focus turned to environmentalism, and measures were 

taken to start restoring the park to its natural state and protecting it. In 1966 Elk/Beaver lake

 became a regional park.
