HistoryOutdoor

After constructing the Canadian Pacific Railway line near Hairy Hill, settlers migrated from Soda Lake to Hairy Hill for better opportunities. Soda Lake is named due to the high soda content of its shallow waters. Soda Lake is now a designated Albertan historical site, and a sign is nearby to provide more information on the community’s history. As of today, Soda Lake is dry.
