Cooper Lake, at the headwaters of the Moyie River is one of the easier subalpine lakes to reach in the Cranbrook area. Fourteen Rocky Mountain Naturalists and guests went up in October. Driving up the Lumberton Road about 25 kilometers to the trail head then a short walk in of about 2 kilometers.
There had been rumours of wolves and waterfowl. However the most abundant species we saw though were the Spruce Grouse, Rough Grouse and Canada Geese. We stayed in small groups and all did different things as we explored the area. Pleased with the beauty of the sun reflecting on the water as the mountains stood tall around us. We explored the sluiceway that fed the log flume that delivered logs to Lumberton, walked up both sides as some went completely around.
