Norway Lake is a pretty lake located in Addington Highlands, which is part of Lennox and Addington County in Ontario, Canada. It's a natural body of water that plays a role in the bigger Moira River and Lake Ontario drainage basins. This means its water eventually flows into these larger bodies of water.
About Norway Lake
Where is Norway Lake?
Norway Lake is found in the beautiful Canadian province of Ontario. It's about 17 kilometres (11 mi) east of a small community called Gunter. It's also about 15.5 kilometres (10 mi) northwest of another community named Cloyne. The lake sits at an elevation of 340 metres (1,115 ft) above sea level.
How Big is Norway Lake?
This lake is not huge, but it's a lovely size for exploring! Norway Lake is about 0.6 kilometres (0.4 mi) long. That's a bit more than half a kilometer. It is also about 0.4 kilometres (0.2 mi) wide. This means it's a bit less than half a kilometer across.
Where Does the Water Go?
The water from Norway Lake doesn't just stay there! It has an important journey. The main way water leaves the lake is through an unnamed creek. This creek flows out from the southwest side of Norway Lake.
The water from Norway Lake then travels to Rainy Lake. From Rainy Lake, it continues its journey through several other creeks and rivers. These include Rainy Creek, Partridge Creek, and the Skootamatta River. Finally, all this water joins the Moira River. The Moira River then flows into the Bay of Quinte on Lake Ontario at a city called Belleville. So, a drop of water from Norway Lake could end up in one of the Great Lakes!
