Nanaimo Lakes comprise First, Second, and Third Lakes, natural lakes on the upper Nanaimo River, on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, as well as Fourth Lake, behind a dam impounding the river.

Geography

The lakes are in a highland transitional area between the southern Vancouver Island Ranges and the Nanaimo Lowland.{{sfn|Yorath |2005|p=17}}

The 1:50,000 topographic map quadrangle "Nanaimo Lakes" published by Natural Resources Canada is centered on the lakes.[3] Note that lake names do not appear on all online mapping services, and Third Lake, not listed by the Watershed Roundtable, but listed in a 1919 guide, and on the Natural Resources Canada map, may not appear on some maps at all.[4] A lake with a dam at the north end, named "Fourth Lake", is also shown on the map. First Lake and Second Lake,at {{circa}} 210 meters above sea level,[3] are connected by a short stream.{{sfn|Williams|1919|p=70}} Fourth Lake Dam is privately owned and impounds {{convert|38000000|m3}} of water, used for a paper mill.{{sfn|Butler|Chapman|Gullison|Kellow|2014|p=9}}

  • First Lake {{coord|49|05|45|N|124|10|00|W|region:ZZ_type:waterbody|name=First Lake}},[3] natural, about {{convert|2|miles}} long{{sfn|Williams|1919|p=70}}
  • Second Lake {{coord|49|05|45|N|124|13|00|W|region:ZZ_type:waterbody|name=Second Lake}},[3] natural, about {{convert|2|miles}} long{{sfn|Williams|1919|p=70}}
  • Third Lake {{coord|49|05|10|N|124|19|12|W|region:ZZ_type:waterbody|name=Third Lake}},[5] natural, much smaller than the others
  • Fourth Lake {{coord|49|03|31|N|124|25|12|W|region:ZZ_type:waterbody|name=Fourth Lake}},[6] a reservoir, about {{convert|2.5|miles}} long and 2 km2 in area[7]

Recreation

Timberwest owns has four campsites on private land surrounding First Lake.[8] The lake was stocked with up to 30,000 salmon or trout per year for recreational fishing beginning in 1905 through the early 21st century.[9]{{sfn|Pochin|1946|p=75}}{{sfn|Williams|1919|p=70}} Fourth Lake can be kayaked.[7]

Nanaimo Lakes fire balloon

In March, 1945, a Fu-Go balloon bomb made in Yamaguchi Prefecture and launched from Japan landed at the lakes. Its firing circuits malfunctioned; it failed to detonate and was recovered and analyzed by a Canadian–American intelligence effort.{{sfn|Coen|2014|p=157}}
