Buffalo Pound Lake

Buffalo Pound Lake is a eutrophic prairie lake formed from glacial melt about 10,000 years ago on the Qu'Appelle River in Saskatchewan, Canada. It is located approximately 28 kilometres (17 mi) north of Moose Jaw and 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) north-east of Tuxford. The lake gets its name from the method used by First Nations people to capture the bison using the natural topography as corrals or buffalo pounds. Bison, once numbering more than 60 million on the prairies but almost extinct by 1900, were reintroduced into the area in 1972.
