Landis Lake
About 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) west of the village is Landis Lake,[13] which is a small endorheicsalt lake. It is part of the Landis Lake Important Bird Area (IBA) of Canada that covers 63.07 km2 (24.35 sq mi) of land. It is a significant habitat for congregating shorebirds and a small section of the west-central shore line is designated as critical piping plover habitat. Other birds found there include the stilt sandpiper, sanderling, red-necked phalarope, pectoral sandpiper, American avocet, and the lesser yellowlegs. Landis Lake depends on spring runoff and seasonal rains to maintain water levels. During dry years, the lake will completely dry up.[14]
