Eimer's Lake is a small, spring-fed pond just over half a kilometre from the Higgins Street Park entrance. A small trail will take you to the far end of the lake and over a footbridge to the sphagnum bog meadow. The lake is home to brook trout, western painted turtles, and a variety of other reptiles and amphibians. Belted kingfishers and great blue herons are often seen here and mallards have been known to nest in the bog. |
The far end of Eimers Lake contains a large mass of sphagnum moss which is gradually filling in the lake. Two footbridges, built by students at Selkirk High School, cross the stream that flows into the lake and allow access to the sphagnum meadow. This area is covered with labrador tea and if you look closely swamp laurel and other acid-loving plants can be seen. |
