Lac des Arcs (Alberta)
Lac des Arcs is a lake in Alberta, Canada that forms part of the Bow River.
Located within Alberta's Rockies, the Hamlet of Lac des Arcs is located on the lake's southeastern shore, while the Lafarge Exshaw Plant and a limestone quarry lie on the lake's northern shore.
The Trans-Canada Highway runs along the southern shore, and a Canadian Pacific Railway line and Highway 1A follow the northern shore. The lake is also locally known for having a small island with nothing but a picnic bench on it, which is visible from the Trans-Canada Highway.
