STAVE LAKE

'Stave Lake' is a hydroelectric reservoir in the Stave River system, located on the northern edge of the District of Mission, about 65 km east of Vancouver, British Columbia. The main arm of the lake is just over 20 km long, and there is a southwest arm ending at Stave Falls Dam about 9.5 km long. The original lake occupied about a third of the space of the main arm. Combined area of the lake is nominally about 55 square kilometres.
