Weepine Lake is a small lake located in Ontario, Canada. It is found in Haliburton County, within the area known as Dysart et al. This lake is special because it lies inside the beautiful Algonquin Provincial Park. Its waters are part of the larger Ottawa River drainage basin, meaning its water eventually flows into the Ottawa River.

Where is Weepine Lake Located?

Weepine Lake is a small body of water. It covers an area of about 4.14 hectares (10.2 acres). The lake sits at an elevation of 453 metres (1,486 ft) above sea level. It is about 390 metres (1,280 ft) long and 300 metres (980 ft) wide. The closest town is Kennaway, which is about 8.5 kilometres (5.3 mi) to the east.

How Does Water Flow Through Weepine Lake?

Weepine Lake gets its water from two small, unnamed streams. One stream flows into the north side of the lake, and another flows into the west side. The main stream that carries water out of Weepine Lake is at its south end. This stream flows south into another lake called Fourcorner Lake.

From Fourcorner Lake, the water continues its journey through Fourcorner Creek. It then flows into Benoir Lake, and from there, into the York River. The York River then joins the Madawaska River, and finally, all this water reaches the mighty Ottawa River. This whole system shows how Weepine Lake is connected to many other waterways.
