Dusty Rose Lake is an anoxic lake located in north region of Tweedsmuir Park in British Columbia, Canada. It gets its name from its pink coloring[1] and is unique among other lakes which have a similar coloring as it is not a salt water lake, but rather gets its coloring from pigmentation from the surrounding environment.[2]
