Lake Louise is a beautiful lake found in the Estrie region of Quebec, Canada. It's located near the town of Weedon. This lake is part of the Les Appalaches Regional County Municipality, which is a local government area. It's a great spot to learn about how rivers and lakes connect!
Where is Lake Louise?
Lake Louise is nestled in a valley formed by the Saint-François River. Imagine the river flowing along, and then it widens out to create this lake! So, the Saint-François River is super important to Lake Louise. It flows into the lake and then flows out of it too. Think of the lake as a big, calm part of the river.
Rivers that feed the lake
Besides the Saint-François River, another river called the Rivière aux Canards also flows into Lake Louise. This means the lake gets water from different sources, keeping it fresh and full.
Size of the lake
Lake Louise is about 3.3 kilometers (about 2 miles) long. It's also around 1.75 kilometers (just over 1 mile) wide. That's a pretty good size for exploring or just enjoying the view!
