Provenance:
Formerly in the collection of Anonymous Collection, Victoria, Canada
Remarks:
Nestled inside the Chugach National Forest sits a fresh water lake that has the shape of a three-armed starfish, the home of many aquatic and land dwelling residents, and offering economy and recreation to the fishing town of
Cordova
. Eyak Lake is flat bottomed, with an average depth of eight feet, with very distinct stream channels cut one to twelve feet deeper than the surrounding bottom. This leads some to believe the area was once a tidal flat, draining out into Eyak River and/or Orca Inlet. However the lake was formed, certainly it has changed in many ways. Copper River salmon fishermen remember the days before the 1964 earthquake when they could pilot their bowpickers through Eyak River into Eyak Lake for mooring.
