forested except for the odd logged areas on the south side of the
lake. The north side consists mainly of Lodgepole pine with some
Douglas fir.

Shoreline:
Bonaparte is a large clear lake (18km x 2km) that is light to dark
green in color. The lake has rocks at the bottom and edge in some
places. Mainly cobble with some bedrock and a few sandy beaches.
Alder and willows border the lake making access difficult. There
are few weeds surrounding the lake, although lilly pad, reed and
bottom cover type are present.
