Lake Grouse is a small lake of glacial origin located on the Kenai Peninsula (Alaska) approximately 10 km (6.2 mi) north of Seward.[1]
Etymology
[edit]The name first appeared in a 1906 United States Geological Survey record reported (from a local name) by cartographer Moffit.[2]
Physical geography
[edit]The lake, which is longer than wide (620 by 140 m (2,030 by 460 ft)), is located at the western end of the Chugach National Forest. It is (more or less) near a group of glacial lakes: Lake Tern, Lake Crescent, Lake Kenai, Lake Grant, Lake Ptarmigan, Lower Trail Lake, Upper Trail Lake, Cooper Lake, and Bear Lake; the latter is practically on the opposite side of the Seward Highway. The nearest settlement is the town of Seward about 10 km (6.2 mi) away.[3]
The lake is surrounded by several mountains, which are not very high and all belong to the Kenai mountain range:
- "Mt. Ascension" 60°15′32″N 149°29′48″W[4];
- "Paradise Peak" 60°16′02″N 149°11′34″W[5];
- "Bear Lake Glacier" 60°10′04″N 149°15′56″W[6].
Fishing and tourism
[edit]Salvelinus malma (Dolly Varden) trout can be fished in this lake. Ice fishing is possible from December to April.[7]
Access and population centers
[edit]The lake is bordered by the Seward Highway between Anchorage and Seward (but cannot be seen from the highway). It is accessible from the "Lake Grouse Road" (connected directly to the Seward Highway).[8]
