Keep an eye open for the moose which frequent the many swamps in this area. There is also an excellent chance of seeing Stone sheep along the highway – just be sure to check the rear-view mirror before hitting the brakes, give motorists' ample warning of your intention to stop, and pull well off the road. Other commonly seen wildlife includes mountain goats, bison, elk and caribou.
Daily boat tours are available to learn about the history of the lake. The cold, deep waters, tinted jade green by minerals, are home to lake trout, arctic grayling, bull trout and whitefish.
