Description:
|
Perhaps one of the area's most fascinating sites, this lake can be either picturesque or nondescript, depending on when you see it. Subterranean caverns divert the water most of the year, leaving lackluster streams and mud flats. Only in the summer, when meltwater overwhelms the drainage system, does the lake fill, becoming a quietly beautiful body of water. The network of caves has never been completely mapped or understood, and Native Americans named the cave "medicine" in honor of the spirits they believed controlled the waters. Less than a half-hour's drive from Jasper. |
