Bistcho Lake
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bistcho Lake is a large lake in north western Alberta, Canada.
Bistcho Lake has a total area of 426 km² (with 13 km² islands area and 413 km² water surface), and lies at an elevation of 552 m[1]. It is the third largest lake in Alberta (or fourth if considering Lake Athabasca, which is partly in Saskatchewan).
Bitcho Lake is located in the hydrographic basin of the Liard River, to which it is connected by the Petitot River. The waters of the lake drain to the Arctic Ocean through the Petitot, Liard and Mackenzie River.
The Jackfish Point and Bistcho Lake indian reserves of the Dene Tha' First Nation are established on the southern shore of the lake.
