The lake is within the Hearne Domain.
[edit] Flora
At Ennadai Lake's outflow, the forest includes sparse black spruce and tamarack that grow approximately 1–2 m (3 ft 3 in–6 ft 7 in) high, stunted because of harsh winds and dry summers.[1]
[edit] History
Until 1958, Ennadai Lake was home to Ihalmiut, a Copper Inuit people.[2]
On 17 March 2000, two pilots perished in an aviation accident while landing a Douglas DC-3 at Ennadai Lake.[3]
