Sandy Lake, Alaska
Sandy Lake is a lake on the Alaska Peninsula. The lake is located between the Upper Sandy River and Lower Sandy River, which drains into the Bering Sea. It lies 25 miles north-east of Port Moller Airport and is on the boundary of the Alaska Peninsula National Wildlife Refuge. Mount Veniaminof lies to the west of the lake.
It is fed by Upper Sandy River which offers a spawning habitat for sockeye salmon as it enters the lake. Based on the surface area of the lake it has been estimated that the annual production of sockeye salmon is 119,000, however the model used for this estimate may not be appropriate for shallow lakes on the Alaksan peninsular such as Sandy Lake.
Steelhead trout have also been found in the lake.
The lake features a 10-foot terrace of lacustrine deposits.
