How the Water Flows

Water is always on the move, and Gould Lake is no different! It has water flowing into it and water flowing out.

Water Coming In

The main source of water flowing into Gould Lake is an unnamed creek. This creek enters the lake from the south side.

Water Flowing Out

The main way water leaves Gould Lake is through another unnamed creek. This creek flows out from the northeast side of the lake.

The Journey to the Ocean

The water from Gould Lake goes on a long journey!

  • First, the unnamed creek flows into Diabase Creek.
  • Then, Diabase Creek empties into Glosser Bay.
  • Glosser Bay is part of Obushkong Lake, which connects to the Montreal River.
  • The Montreal River then flows into Lake Timiskaming.
  • From Lake Timiskaming, the water joins the Ottawa River.
  • Finally, the Ottawa River flows into the mighty Saint Lawrence River, which eventually reaches the Atlantic Ocean.
