Boot Lake
A small boot-shaped lake east of the town centre. The lakeside trail and viewing platforms make it an easy spot for watching the midnight sun and the northern lights.
Boot Lake gets its name from its boot-like shape. Along the shore are a Lions Club park, walking trails and picnic tables. In summer, residents stroll and paddle here, and in winter, when the lake freezes, people go skiing on it. It is a 10-minute walk from the town centre and has little light pollution, so people often watch the northern lights from its shore on clear winter nights. Entry is free. Mosquitoes are plentiful in summer, so bring insect repellent.
