Figure Eight Lake is a very quiet lake. Originally there was no lake here but only a slough. It was first stocked with Northern Pike in 1956, but they did not survive. In 1969 many volunteers from the Brownvale Community took it on themselves to drain it, clear the brush, bring in sand and finally stock it with trout so many people could enjoy it.
One can really appreciate the peace and quiet of Figure Eight Lake Provincial Recreation Area. The park is an area of 38.6 hectares or 95.4 acres.
