Lost Lagoon is an artificial, captive 16.6-hectare (41 acre) body of water, west of Georgia Street, near the entrance to Stanley Park in Vancouver, Canada. Surrounding the lake is a 1.75 km (1.09 mi) trail, and it features a lit fountain that was erected by Robert Harold Williams to commemorate the city's golden jubilee. It is a nesting ground to many species of birds, including non-native Mute Swan (whose wing tendons have been clipped to prevent escaping), Canada geese, numerous species of ducks such as mallard ducks and Great Blue Herons.

Famous quotes containing the word lost:
““... Knowledge he shall unwind
Through victories of the mind,
Till, clambering at the cradle-side,
He dreams himself his mother’s pride,
All knowledge lost in trance
Of sweeter ignorance.””
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
