• Overview

  Leddy Lake is listed under Municipal District of Northern Lights No. 22, Alberta. The surface lies 634 metres up. Roughly 3.47 sq km of surface: treat each bay as a water in its own right. Some 8.9 km of bank gives room to move when the wind turns. Peace River lies 20 km from the water. After that come Grimshaw at 25 km and Manning at 59 km. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.
