It was even referenced as "an ideal swimming spot" ub a news article in the Province in 1927. News reports dating back to the early 1900s talk of people skating on the lake, which is a perfectly acceptable use of this body of water when it freezes over in the winter.
Located in John Hendry Park, much of the land around the "lake" was donated by the Hamber family in 1926, and another parcel was purchased by the Park Board from the Salvation Army for $2,500, with plans to develop it into a park with recreational facilities. We have several specialists available to identify any species of plant or animal from your lake brought to the station.The Vancouver Park Board has just issued a notice letting people know they've temporarily closed swimming at Trout Lake because of high E.coli levels currently present in the water, reminding some residents that people actually swim in this literal peat bog. While we welcome questions about any lake, not all lakes have been studied extensively, will answer your questions to the best of our knowledge. Contact Gretchen Gerrish station director if interested in this opportunity. Our research scientists are available to speak at lake association’s or civic group’s meetings. We do collaborate with the DNR in research and conservation efforts. Trout Lake Station is part of the University of Wisconsin, not the DNR. Trout Lake Station offers housing and equipment for class field trips in the spring, fall and Winter. The Tug Juday Conference room build in 2011 offers a comfortable space for up to 60 people and is available for environmental focus groups.
