Prospect Lake in Saanich, Victoria British Columbia.
While most of the shoreline around Prospect Lake has been claimed by private residences, there are two small parks and a boat launch that provide access for the public. Boats with electric motors are permitted on the lake with speed restrictions. Rainbow trout and cutthroat bass are stocked regularly – Prospect Lake is a favourite for fishers.
