Dusty Rose Lake


Dusty Rose Lake is an anoxic lake located in north region of Tweedsmuir North [Provincial Park and Protected Area|Tweedsmuir Park] in British Columbia, Canada. It gets its name from its pink coloring.
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. The glacial meltwater feeding the lake gets its lavender hue from the particulate of the surrounding rock which is purple/pink in colour.
