Our Lakes
Lake 240: Harris Lake
Lake 240 has been a reference lake for many of our studies, including much of the mercury research in the 1990s.
About this lake
The classic view of Lake 240’s island is from the dock. Lake 240’s beautiful beach is a big part of the fun: it is a favourite location for swimming, and we play volleyball along its shores. Its role as part of everyday life at the facility makes it a truly remarkable place.
Lake 240 has been a reference lake for many of our studies, including much of the mercury research in the 1990s. The IISD-ELA fish program continues to collect fish muscle biopsies annually from this lake as a reference for the METALLICUS Project.
