Lake Louise is a lake in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It has a surface area of approximately {{convert|67|acre|ha}} on The National Map and is located entirely in Franklin Township.[1] The lake is dammed by the Lake Louise Dam, which is in poor condition, as of 1980. Lake Louise is situated on Sutton Creek and drains an area of {{convert|2.69|sqmi|km2}}. As of 1980, its watershed is mostly forested. The Lake Louise Lake Association was given a Growing Greener mini-grant in 2012.

Geography, geology, and watershed

The main inflows to Lake Louise are Sutton Creek and two unnamed streams. The main outflow is Sutton Creek.[1] The lake has an elevation of {{convert|1083|ft|m}} above sea level.[2] Under normal conditions, the lake has an area of {{convert|56|acre|ha}}, a volume of {{convert|193|acre.ft|m3}}, and a length of {{convert|4000|ft|m}}. However, the maximum storage capacity is {{convert|705|acre.ft|m3}}. The lake is {{convert|4|mi|km}} upstream of the Susquehanna River.[4]

Lake Louise is dammed by the Lake Louise Dam.[1] As of 1980, this dam is in poor condition, with a spillway capable of handling 45 percent of a probably maximum flood. It was classified as an "unsafe non-emergency dam".[3] The dam is an earthfill dam with a height of {{convert|16|ft|m}}, a length of {{convert|210|ft|m}}, and a width of {{convert|26|ft|m}} at the top.[4]

Lake Louise is in the Glaciated Low Plateaus section of the Appalachian Plateaus physiographic province. The main rock formation underlying the lake is the Devonian-age Susquehanna Group, which consists of conglomerate, siltstone, sandstone, and shale.[4]

The watershed of Lake Louise has an area of {{convert|2.69|sqmi|km2}}. As of 1980, the watershed of Lake Louise is mostly forested. Most slopes in the watershed are gentle or moderate.[4]

Lake Louise is entirely within the United States Geological Survey quadrangle of Center Moreland.[2]

Hydrology

In October 2007, the concentration of nitrate/nitrogen at the inlets to Lake Louise ranged from {{convert|0.19|to|0.33|mg/l|lb/cuft|sp=us}}. In November 2009, the concentration ranged from {{convert|0.10|to|0.46|mg/l|lb/cuft|sp=us}} and in May 2011, the concentration ranged from {{convert|0.09|to|0.33|mg/l|lb/cuft|sp=us}}. At the outlet of Lake Louise, the concentrations on those three dates were {{convert|0.19|mg/l|lb/cuft|sp=us}}, {{convert|0.12|mg/l|lb/cuft|sp=us}}, and {{convert|0.24|mg/l|lb/cuft|sp=us}}, respectively. For comparison, healthy lakes generally have concentrations of less than {{convert|0.05|mg/l|lb/cuft|sp=us}} in the summertime.[5]

In October 2007, the concentration of phosphorus at the inlets to Lake Louise ranged from {{convert|0.61|to|1.62|mg/l|lb/cuft|sp=us}}. In November 2009, the concentration ranged from {{convert|0.04|to|0.99|mg/l|lb/cuft|sp=us}} and in May 2011, the concentration ranged from {{convert|0.04|to|0.53|mg/l|lb/cuft|sp=us}}. At the outlet of Lake Louise, the concentrations on those three dates were {{convert|0.00|mg/l|lb/cuft|sp=us}}, {{convert|0.29|mg/l|lb/cuft|sp=us}}, and {{convert|0.59|mg/l|lb/cuft|sp=us}}, respectively. For comparison, a phosphorus concentration of more than {{convert|0.03|mg/l|lb/cuft|sp=us}} indicates a eutrophic lake.[5]

History

Lake Louise was entered into the Geographic Names Information System on August 2, 1979. Its identifier in the Geographic Names Information System is 1199089.[2]

In 2012, the Lake Louise Lake Association was awarded a Growing Greener mini-grant for sediment removal, shoreline stabilization, riparian buffer establishment, and invasive species control on Lake Louise.[6]
