The Mann Lakes are two close basin lakes in Alberta. Once a single lake named Mann Lake, the construction of Highway 28 in 1961 split the lake in two.[1] The more southerly Upper Mann Lake lies at 54°08′37″N 111°30′57″W / 54.14361°N 111.51583°W, and just north of it, the more northerly Lower Mann Lake at 54°10′N 111°30′W / 54.167°N 111.500°W. Since 1980, their water level has been steadily declining.[2]
