"You were already driving along Abraham Lake to each Cline River Canyon. Just keep driving a little bit further to a small parking lot at Windy Point, then walk towards the lake. What makes this lake so special is that it has a strong concentration of methane, producing bubbles that freeze in the winter and are trapped under the ice. This creates some of the most unique landscapes you will ever see in winter, it looks like a frozen lava lamp, and you can actually walk on it! Same as for Cline River Canyon though, without microspikes it will be extremely slippery and dangerous.
The bubbles are best seen between mid-January and early February, when the lake is not covered in snow. But even when it is, people come with brooms to reveal the lake surface in patches! There is a website updating the bubbles condition on a regular basis."
