Chestermere Lake is a manmade irrigation lake. The area now known as Chestermere Lake at one time extended to Sheppard. Around the turn of the century the C.P.R. built a dam at the South end of the lake. Some of the rock used to build the dam came from the Frank Slide. The water that flows from Chestermere Lake runs through about 1400 miles of canal which run as far as Cluny. The Western Irrigation District operates the irrigation system. The lake is 3.5 miles long by ½ mile wide and covers 750 acres. The Bow River feeds the lake with mountain, spring and glacier run-off. Chestermere Lake has a complete water change every five days. For comparison Pine Lake in central Alberta has a complete water change once every 200 years. To prevent ice damage to docks and boat houses in the winter the water is lowered. Chestermere Lake has never flooded as the water level is well-controlled by shutting off the weir from the Bow River in the event of a big storm.
Chestermere was incorporated as a town on March 1, 1993. Before this time Chestermere was known as Chestermere Lake. Because mere means lake in French the council then decided to drop the lake and be just Chestermere. Developers then began to call the town Lake Chestermere as they wanted people to know that the most important thing about Chestermere was the lake. The correct name remains Chestermere.
