Talk:Duncan Lake

Notes on BC Duncan Lakes
I just consulted BC Basemap, which contains the provincial gazette. Of the four geographic lakes, only the one formed by Duncan Dam is noteworthy enough to ever need an article; one near the Forbidden Plateau may be well-known as a hiking spot, hard to say; another is in hte Okanagan Highland south of Big White Ski Resort, probably pretty much a pond only, and another's a reasonable sized lake, but very very remote and obscure, to the east of Thutade Lake and Tatlatui Provincial Park. There is also, however, Duncan Lake Indian Reserve No. 2, for which there are two possible naming conventions Duncan Lake 2, British Columbia, which is something a Wikiguideline somewhere mandates for Indian Reserves, or just plain Duncan Lake, British Columbia for the communitiy on the IR (IRs are legal drawings on landscapes vs the communities actually on them). Interestingly the geographic lake at this location is not gazetted at Duncan Lake; and in all likelihood the community has naother name in the Dakelh language (it's up in the Bulkley-Endako Country).Skookum1 (talk) 16:49, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
