The Journey of Water in Crawford Lake

Water flows into Crawford Lake from two main sources. These are the Neighick River and Wylie Creek. These are called the lake's inflows.

The water then flows out of Crawford Lake. It goes through a channel that leads to Beaver Lake. From Beaver Lake, the water travels through a narrow passage called The Narrows. This passage connects to Ahmic Lake. Ahmic Lake is part of the Magnetawan River. Finally, the water from the Magnetawan River eventually reaches Lake Huron. This shows how all these lakes and rivers are connected!
