[4] The entire lake and much of the surrounding landscape is an Important Bird Area of Canada while the lower half is part of the provincial Nisku Wildlife Refuge (50°56′00″N 106°10′02″W / 50.9334°N 106.1673°W / 50.9334; -106.1673).

[5] Eyebrow Lake is set in the Upper Qu'Appelle Valley, which was created about 14,000 years ago during the melting of the last ice age.

[7] In 1968, a major water management project was begun to offset the effects of periodic droughts in the region.

A series of dykes were built creating five basins allowing water levels to be controlled, which resulted in a permanent lake and marshland.

Some of which include black-crowned night herons, Franklin's gulls, black-necked grebes, American avocets, lesser scaups, marsh wrens, common yellowthroats, sedge wrens, LeConte's sparrows, Nelson's sparrows, ferruginous hawks, burrowing owls, cattle egrets, mallards, northern pintails, short-billed dowitchers, willets, and spotted sandpipers.
