Summary

[edit]
Description

Bennett Lake and mountain ranges as seen from Carcross Desert. Boreal forest and meadows infill the area between the lake and dunes.

While not a desert at all, Carcross Desert, as the locals are inclined to call it, is actually a large deposit of sand on a glacial lake bed. The sand is blown from the beach at Bennett Lake about 2 km away when the water level is low exposing the large sandy beach. The beach is formed from silt and sand deposited as the Watson River empties into the lake.

For more information on this fascinating 260 hectare (642 acre) sand dunes area, visit The Basement Geographer's article, The Carcross Desert.
