Mississippi Lake

Mississippi Lake is in Lanark County in Ontario, Canada. Ontario's Mississippi River streams upper east and north through the lake. A few little brooks including Cranberry Creek, McCrearys Creek, and McGibbon Creek empty into the lake out of abutting timberland and agrarian land. The lake is particular for having one side toward the north that is a piece of the Canadian shield, while the other is generally limestone. The lake is a leftover of the old Champlain Sea, which overflowed eastern Ontario toward the finish of last ice age. The previous shoreline of the ocean can in any case be followed inland from the north shore of the lake.

The lake has two substantial and commonly huge wetlands. The bigger happens at the west end of the lake, here the Mississippi River enters the lake through the Innisville wetland, or, in other words of the biggest wetlands in Lanark County, and is assigned an Area of Natural and Scientific Interest. Included inside its limits is The Mississippi Lake National Wildlife Area. The commonly critical Blanding's Turtle is known from the lake, its long haul survival likely relies on adequate settling zones. You can visit, explore and experience this place more.
