A true wonder and a MUST SEE.  Its turquoise color may be one of the most breathtaking sites you may ever see.  The extremely dynamic color is caused by "rock flower" (silt ground from rocks by glacier movement).

This manmade wonder is the result of the construction of the bighorn dam. 

The lake received its name from a government sponsored "Name the Lake Contest".

The man and his family that the lake was named after is Silas Abraham who lived in the North Saskatchewan River valley in the late 1800's.
