Buttle Lake/Campbell River is a reservoir and part of the Campbell River Hydroelectric System. A few kilometers downstream, the water is impounded by the Strathcona Dam. The varying water levels in the reservoir have a significant impact on the vegetation along the shore. Currently, the water is low, and walking along the lakeshore, we can see the old tree stumps of the former forest protruding from the water. (May 13, 2025)
