Natural Features
Along the shores of this nature reserve is a notable series of
raised cobble beaches. Historic water levels of the lake, from ancient
to modern times, are visible on the stones. At their greatest height,
the beaches tower some 45 metres above the water. Ancient lichen
communities thrive on some of the cobblestones. Also present are
about 70 excavated rock structures attributed to historic and prehistoric
peoples.
