Little Mink Lake is a lovely lake found in Addington Highlands, Lennox and Addington County in Ontario, Canada. It's part of a larger water system that eventually leads to Lake Ontario. This lake is a great example of the many natural wonders in the area.
Exploring Little Mink Lake
Little Mink Lake is about 0.7 kilometres (0.4 mi) long and 0.35 kilometres (0.2 mi) wide. It sits at an elevation of about 340 metres (1,115 ft) above sea level. Imagine being on top of a 340-meter hill; that's how high this lake is!
Where is Little Mink Lake Located?
This lake is nestled in the beautiful region of Addington Highlands, Ontario. It's located about 12 kilometres (7 mi) northeast of the community of Gunter. It's also about 18 kilometres (11 mi) northwest of another community called Cloyne. A power line from Hydro One crosses over the western side of the lake.
How Water Flows Through the Lake
Little Mink Lake is part of a big drainage basin. This means it's connected to many other lakes and rivers.
- Inflows: Two small, unnamed creeks bring water into the lake from the east. Think of them as little streams feeding the lake.
- Outflows: An unnamed creek carries water out of the lake from the west. This water then flows into Little Merrill Lake.
The journey of the water doesn't stop there! From Little Merrill Lake, the water travels through Merrill Creek. Then it goes into Partridge Creek, and after that, it joins the Skootamatta River. Finally, all this water flows into the Moira River. The Moira River then empties into the Bay of Quinte on Lake Ontario, near the city of Belleville. It's like a long, winding water highway!
