Dusty Rose Lake Explained

Dusty Rose Lake is an anoxic lake located in north region of Tweedsmuir Park in British Columbia, Canada. It gets its name from its pink coloring.^[1]

The lake is unique among other lakes which have a similar coloring as it is not a salt water lake, but rather gets its coloring from pigmentation from the surrounding environment.^[2] The glacial meltwater feeding the lake gets its lavender hue from the particulate of the surrounding rock which is purple/pink in colour.^[3]
