Patricia Lake Other than being a scenic and peaceful lake, Patricia Lake offers the opportunity for cold-water divers to explore the remains of Operation Habbakuk, a military experiment from World War II. The experiment’s purpose was to try to find a way to create an “ice ship” out of wood plankings and ice. Although they succeeded in building a prototype, it was never used and eventually melted, carrying with it refrigeration units which now sit at the bottom of the lake. Address: Off Pyramid Lake Road Jasper AB CA
