I went to Long Lake in Forfar Park this last Saturday. Best visibility I've seen in a lake since Jasper! Not a fish to be found, but it's early yet and the weed beds are just starting to come up. Nice sandy rock bottom with a nice drop off reminiscent of Twin Lake, but much clearer. There are Jack and Perch in this lake and there were a few boats out. 4$ for the day area, with some good picnic sights right on the hill with paths leading down to the lake. Also the lake was surprisingly warm- I was in for 2 hours and was toasty, even with some good hangs in the thermocline below 10 metres.
There is a lake just north of this one called Narrow Lake as well, that is supposed to be very similar, with no beach area due to severe dropoffs on the bank.
