    Lake Duchesnay is a small alpine lake, part of the Duchesnay Basin, below Mount Duchesnay and Mount Niles. At 2,100 meters above sea level, this glacial-fed lake is shallow and dries up in the summer, but when it has water, it trickles down from snowmelt and small glaciers from the Waputik Range.

      Shallow lake, lonely in the forest. It dries almost completely in dry summers.
