HISTORY Pink Lake is named after a family of Irish settlers who, in 1826 cleared a farm in the area. PROPERTIES Due to the meromictic properties of Pink Lake there are ancient forms of Bacteria which use Sulfur instead of water to perform Photosynthesis . These bacteria form a layer about 7 meters from the bottom to avoid the oxygenated water and maximize sunlight exposure. Pink Lake also has a desalinized variant of the Three-spined Stickleback fish.
