This 7,850 km 2 (3,030 sq mi) lake has 2,295 km 2 (886 sq mi) of its surface area in Alberta and 5,555 km 2 (2,145 sq mi) in Saskatchewan. The largest lake completely within Alberta is Lake Claire, at 1,436 km 2 (554 sq mi). Lake Claire is just west of Lake Athabasca, with both located in the remote Peace-Athabasca Delta.
Therefore, mean depth figures are not available for many deep lakes in remote locations. [9] The average lake on Earth has the mean depth 41.8 meters (137.14 feet) [9] The Caspian Sea ranks much further down the list on mean depth, as it has a large continental shelf (significantly larger than the oceanic basin that contains its greatest depths).
The mountain rises 1,690 metres (5,540 ft) in less than 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) from the lake giving it dramatic local relief. Mount Warren is situated at the northwest edge of the Brazeau Icefield, and its nearest higher peak is Mount Brazeau , 2.26 kilometres (1.40 miles ) to the southeast. [ 3 ]

-Ok - The lake is glacially fed for the most part, 4 miles up the lake the Maligne River enters the lake (aka "upper Maligne River"). The deepest location of the lake is at the far end (about 14 miles down) and is roughly 350 deep. Tour boats can operate to slightly past Spirit Island but no further unless there is an emergency.
