Mutton Creek Diversion $43,324

This project is to rebuild the Mutton Creek Diversion structure at Whiteswan Lake Provincial Park which diverts water into Alces Lake and then into the Whiteswan Lake spawning channel. The Mutton Creek diversion is 20+ years old and was built of wood which is beginning to rot. A considerable amount of erosion has taken place in Mutton Creek and the diversion is on the verge of being washed out.

The Mutton Creek Diversion is the only source of water for the Whiteswan Lake spawning channel which during the last seven years as been utilized by an average of 517 spawning rainbow trout. Approximately 91% of the total rainbow trout catch at Whiteswan Lake are wild fish and the result of natural recruitment. The Whiteswan Lake spawning channel is also provides a good opportunity to view spawning rainbow trout.
