Talbot River
Ontario, Canada
This site is located along Talbot River and is just downstream of Raven Lake, a shallow lake known for its marl lake bottom visible in satellite photos. Marl is a precipitate that forms on the bottom of the lake because of a reaction between groundwater and lake water. If not for a beaver dam at the south end of the lake, Raven Lake would likely be a bulrush marsh.
This site monitored by Couchiching Conservancy volunteers Adrienne Kohl and Jennie Clark.
