Maroon Lake , ASPEN
Maroon Lake , Like many high elevation lakes , was created by Ice-age glaciers as they slid down across the landscape . Many of the other lakes long ago filled with Sedimantation . Glacial benching formed both Maroon and Crater Lakes , where the glaciers flattened areas that are suitable for collecting water . The lake itself remains dammed in by alluvial fans .
The lake and the Local Rivers contain a combination of brook , rainbow and brown Trout . Maroon lake is stocked and contains Colarado River cutthroat .
The high level of Nutrients in the Maroon lake contribute to the algae growth in the lake bottom . Beavers cut and bring in tree cuttings (willow and aspen ) , and decay from streamside vegetation . The Lake inlet stirs up Nutrients , adding dissolved oxygen and creates conditions for rich plant and animal Life .
