Discovering Todd Lakes

Todd Lakes is a small but important part of the natural landscape in Ontario. It's a great example of the many lakes that make up Canada's beautiful scenery.

Size and Elevation

Todd Lakes is not a very big lake. It stretches about 0.5 kilometres (0.3 mi) long and is about 0.35 kilometres (0.2 mi) wide. The lake is quite high up, sitting at an elevation of about 348 metres (1,142 ft) above sea level.

How Water Flows Through Todd Lakes

Water is always moving, and Todd Lakes is no exception! The main stream that flows into the lake is called Merrill Creek. This creek enters the lake from the north side.

Merrill Creek also flows out of the lake from the south. From Todd Lakes, the water travels towards Merrill Lake. After that, the water continues its journey through Partridge Creek and then into the Skootamatta River.

Finally, all this water joins the Moira River. The Moira River then flows into the Bay of Quinte, which is a part of Lake Ontario. This happens near the city of Belleville. So, the water from Todd Lakes eventually makes its way to one of North America's Great Lakes!
