Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Lac la Nonne is a lake in central Alberta, Canada. It is located between Lac Ste. Anne County and Barrhead County, 85 km north-west from Edmonton, east of the Grizzly Trail. The lake is controlled by a dam, and drains through MacDonald Creek into the Pembina River. Lac la Nonne is fairly large (11.8 km2) and deep (maximum depth 19.8 m) lake located about 90 km northwest of Edmonton in the counties of Barrhead and Lac Ste. Anne. This is a highly developed and popular recreational lake. The closest large population centre is the town of Barrhead, 20 km to the north. The name of the lake, the nun in French, has an uncertain origin. In 1827, Edward Ermatinger recorded the lake s name in his journal as Lac La Nane. It has been suggested that the name comes from the White-winged Scoter, a duck with features similar to ducks in England known as the nun .
