The lake is part of the Moira River and Lake Ontario drainage basins. This means its water eventually flows into these larger bodies of water.
Discover Killer Lake
Killer Lake is a natural body of water. It is a great example of the many lakes found in Ontario.
Size and Location
Killer Lake is about 0.9 kilometres (0.6 mi) long. It is also about 0.5 kilometres (0.3 mi) wide. The lake sits at an elevation of 328 metres (1,076 ft) above sea level.
It is located about 17 kilometres (11 mi) east of a community called Gunter. Another community, Cloyne, is about 13 kilometres (8 mi) northwest of the lake.
Water Flow and Connections
The main stream that flows into Killer Lake is called Killer Creek. This creek enters the lake from the northeast. There is also another smaller creek that flows in from the northwest.
The water then flows out of Killer Lake. The main outflow is also Killer Creek, which leaves the lake at the southeast. From there, Killer Creek flows into the Skootamatta River. The Skootamatta River then joins the Moira River. Finally, the Moira River empties into the Bay of Quinte. The Bay of Quinte is a bay on Lake Ontario near Belleville. This shows how all these waterways are connected!
