<<Slave, Athabaska and Great Bear are among the largest lakes in the world. You can get 30 foot waves on Athabaska. The prospecting up there is good too, for silver gold and diamonds and some type of polymetallic deposits called Olympic Dam type.>>
You can get 30 foot waves a great many places some of them only a few miles from people driving by in cars unable to imagine that much water exists so nearby. While you'll find more salt than gold & nowhere near the size, the size & the location shock most people. In fact despit the size less than 1/2 of all Texans even know of it & fewer & seen it.
