Description
Garibaldi Lake is at an elevation of almost 1500 metres (~4500 feet). Yet this timeline tells us that in 1928 the lake was stocked with fish. That begs the question, how were the fish taken there? Were they taken by horseback, cocooned in a swishing, sloshing saddle pack? Or were they air-dropped by a plane that never landed, as has been the practice elsewhere and in later years?
This document does not say why or how the fish-stocking happened. However, this short timeline is a very useful breakdown of the history of Garibaldi Park before 1942.
