Alta Lake

Originally named Summit Lake, Alta Lake was renamed to avoid confusion with the many other Summit Lakes in British Columbia. The name is derived from the Spanish for "high up" or "upper". The lake's southern end is the divide between the basins of the Green and Cheakamus Rivers. The lake is 642 metres (2,106 ft) in elevation and approximately 1.1 km2 (0.42 sq mi) in area and 2.2 kilometres (1.4 mi) north to south, with a maximum width of about 675 metres (2,215 ft), east to west.
