Lac des Arcs is a lake in Alberta, Canada, that forms part of the Bow River.

Located within Alberta's Rockies, the Hamlet of Lac des Arcs is on the lake's southeastern shore, while the Lafarge Exshaw Plant and a limestone quarry lie on the lake's northern shore.

The Trans-Canada Highway runs along the southern shore, and the CPKC Railway main line and Highway 1A follow the northern shore. The lake is also locally known for a local landmark, Adams island (51.053152977037904, -115.18780977137516). This is a small island visible from the Trans-Canada Highway and a common sight seeing attraction for tourisits.[citation needed].

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
