Skating on the frozen Patricia Lake
A little history about the adjacent lake called Patricia. This following paragraph was quoted from Park's Canada history section.

"1943 A Scottish regiment of special mountain troops called the Lovat Scouts trains in winter conditions in Jasper. That same year, Operation Habbakuk, a prototype barge of sawdust and ice, is built and tested in secrecy at Patricia Lake. Military command hopes to float such barges as mid-Atlantic airfields. Although shown to be resistant to enemy attack, such ships are never deployed. The test model is abandoned in 1944 and its infrastructure sinks to the bottom of Patricia Lake. "
