Water Flow and Connections
The water in Gorrie Lake comes from two small streams, called unnamed creeks, on its western side. These are the main ways water flows into the lake.
Water leaves Gorrie Lake from its eastern side. It flows out through another unnamed creek that leads to Fourbass Lake. From there, the water travels a long journey! It goes into the Matabitchuan River, then into Lake Timiskaming. Finally, it joins the mighty Ottawa River and eventually reaches the St. Lawrence River.
