Thetis Lake #1
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thetis Lake is a name that refers to two freshwater lakes (Upper and Lower Thetis) connected by a narrow culvert in the 635 hectare Thetis Lake Regional Park in Victoria, British Columbia, about 12km from the city centre. It was established as Canada's first nature sanctuary in 1958.[1] The park was named for the frigate HMS Thetis, which had been assigned to Esquimalt as part of the Royal Navy's Pacific Squadron.
The park's facilities include several beaches, forest trails, parking, washrooms and a concession.
The area features many Garry Oak and Douglas fir trees, and the lake is rumoured to hide the Thetis lake monster.
