Beaver Lake

This guide to Beaver Lake in Stanley Park, Vancouver, follows the pond's beavers from their arrival in 1907 through a sixty-year disappearance, and their unexplained return in 2008 when a single beaver was spotted swimming across the water again. You'll hear how the causeway built in 1938 cut off the lake's water supply the same year ornamental lilies were planted, and how both changes have been reshaping the lake ever since. Look for the lily pads and any dammed outflow as you walk the shoreline.
