Disappearing Lake
Clip: Season 25 Episode 2506 | 6m 58sVideo has Closed Captions
Paddle the mysterious disappearing ''bayou of the northwest.'
South Prairie is a mysterious lake in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest that appears each spring and disappears each summer. We set out with a Forest Service botonist to paddle and hike this geologic wonder, trying to learn what's behind this phenomenon. The prairie is home to the world's largest-known population of a rare iris and some of the farthest west aspen groves in Washington.
