Charlie Lake is a lake in north-eastern British Columbia, Canada, situated 8km (05miles) west from Fort St. John, along the Alaska Highway. The lake provides the water supply for the city of Fort St. John.[1] The Charlie Lake Formation, a stratigraphical unit of the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin is named for the lake.
The lake is situated at an elevation of 700m (2,300feet). It is formed along the Stoddart Creek, a right tributary of the Beatton River, itself a major tributary of the Peace River.
Two parks are established on the shores of the lake, Charlie Lake Provincial Park[2] on the west shore, and Beatton Provincial Park on the east shore. The settlement of Charlie Lake lies at the southern tip of the lake.
