Spotted Lake, Mineral lake in Alberta, Canada
The lake surface exhibits numerous mineral deposits creating patterns of different colors, particularly noticeable during water evaporation in summer months.
During World War I, workers extracted up to one ton of salt daily from the lake for ammunition production purposes.
The First Nations of the Okanagan region consider the lake a sacred site, referring to it as Kliluk in their traditional language.
Visitors can observe the lake from designated viewpoints along the highway, as direct access remains restricted due to ecological protection measures.
The natural formation of walkways occurs between colored spots when minerals crystallize and harden during the warm season.
