ESCAPEMENT TIMING EXCAPEMENT MAGNITUDE 
SPAWNING FACILITIES Very limited. The falls . 2 miles upstream completely block all salmon migration. The 
stream bed below the falls and in the intertidal is bedrock and boulders. However, fish ladder construction began 
in 1958 and will open the lake and its tributaries to salmon and trout. 
STREAM TEMPERATURES Warm range (estimated). Bakewell Lake, 4 miles long, has been observed with 
high summer surface temperatures. 
VALLEY DESCRIPTION Glacial lake system. Two lakes fill about 6 miles of the over 10 mile long valley and 
are bordered on the E. by high mountains with steep cliffs. Bakewell lake runs S. W. and about 1.5 miles of 
connecting stream turn westerly to the smaller second lake which heads near the head of Badger Bay in Boca de Quadra. 
DRAINAGE 12 square miles (estimated). Snow fields and precipitation fed. One large tributary to Bakewell Lake 
drains the eastern ridge and snow field area. The other major tributary enters the head of Bakewell from the second 
lake 1.5 miles W. 
STREAM MOUTH IDENTIFICATION A broad delta lying just E. of the second point on the S. shore from the 
head. A Forest Service trail marker is visible several hundred feet E. of the stream. 
ANCHORAGE _ Good anchorage off shore from the Forest Service trail marker. 
TRAILS AND SURVEY ROUTES A good trail to the lower lake does not follow the river. Walking along the 
river is very difficult. 
AERIAL SURVEY NOTES The stream below the falls is not surveyed by air.
