Lava Lake is a lava dammed lake located in northwestern British Columbia, Canada. The lake lies within the Nisga'a Memorial Lava Beds Provincial Park, which includes fishing, hiking and other features.

Formation

Lava Lake formed when lava flowed into the Tseax River in the 18th century, damming it to form Lava Lake. The flow subsequently traveled {{convert|11|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} north to the Nass River, where it filled the flat valley floor for an additional {{convert|10|km|mi|0|abbr=on}}, making the entire lava flow approximately {{convert|22.5|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} long. This is one of Canada's youngest lava flows.[1] The source for this lava was the Tseax Cone.
