This lake looks like it was created when a
landslide dammed a stream, In 1972 it was declared the Landslide Lake Natural Area by order-in-council with the boundaries extending to the height of land around the lake, previous to that it was part of the White Goat Wilderness Area. Whirlpool Ridge is a high ridge of land protruding into the North Saskatchewan River Valley causing river to change direction. By following the Wildhorse Creek located on the west side of the ridge you can hike to Landslide Lake and then Wildhorse Pass. Back in the 1950’s Whirlpool Ridge was a strategic setting for rounding up wild horses. Wild horses moved back and forth from one side of the ridge during summer and winter months. The roundups drove the horses toward the ridge and one of the passes that contained roundup corrals to trap them. One of the corrals is still evident on the low end of the Whirlpool Point. |
