Upper Beverley Lake, Lake Road, ON
Excerpt from www.crca.ca/wp-content/uploads/PDFs/LakeReports/2017-Fact...:
Upper Beverley Lake is a natural, shallow, warmwater lake located on sandstone bedrock and enhanced by the construction of a dam. Like the majority of lakes within the Cataraqui Region, Upper Beverley Lake mixes in the spring and fall due to lake water warming and cooling. During this mixing process, nutrients are cycled throughout the lake, giving the water a cloudy appearance as well as a brown or green hue from algae that feed off the cycling nutrients. Later in the spring, summer, and winter, water temperatures vary by depth (thermal stratification) so multiple fish species are found at different depth and temperature
ranges.
Originally, Upper Beverley Lake was two small waterbodies until the creation of the Delta Dam. Water levels are controlled by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) at Delta Dam directly on the lake and are maintained within a one-meter fluctuation based on seasonal variations in rainfall, snowmelt and evaporation. The majority of the lake’s shoreline remains in its natural state.
