WATER FLOW
Wanting to share something from my web pg
The Kennisis /Redstone Lakes are at the top of the Trent waterway system and our waters continually are changing as the fresh spring water enters the lake. This change helps to keep the LAKES PRISTINE. Our waters make their way out through many lakes some of which are Red Pine, Big Hawk, Little Brother, Big Brother, St Nora’s, Halls Lake, Kushog Lake, Boshkung Lake. Water from Redstone finds its way here also through Little Redstone, Big Redstone, Eagle Lake, Cranberry into 3 lake chain Pine, Green, Maple Lake. Maple waters go to Beech Lake which flows to Boshkung. Theses waters travel through Twelve Mile, Mountain, Horseshoe, Minden Lake and into Gull Lake. Bob and Little Bob feed in here also. These waters travel on through Moore Lake, Shadow Lake, Silver and into Gull River then into Balsam Lake onto Cameron Lake, Sturgeon Lake, Buckhorn, Lower Buckhorn, Lovesick Lake to Stoney Lake, Clear Lake to Kachewanooka and eventually ending up in Rice Lake. From there into the Trent River and several other small tributaries join the river between Crowe Bay and Trenton where the mouth of the Trent River enters the Bay of Quinte. Quite a journey for our waters. The water from Drag Lake goes to Emmerson Pond into a 5 chain boating lake system- Head Lake at Haliburton, to Grass Lake, Soyers Lake, Kashagawigamog and Canning Lake. This water goes to the Burnt River water shed.
The other water shed starts at Miskwabi into, Blue Hawk Lk, Long Lake into Drag river to Burnt river to Cameron River. Koshlong lake also to the Drag river. Other lakes to east of Haliburton are picked up in smaller sheds. Farquhar, Grace, Percy, Esson Little Glamor, Big Glamor, Gooderham Lake. Salerno Lake, White Lake, Contau, Crystal Lake, Catchacoma, Mississauga Lake, Anstruther Lake Eels, and Jack Lake all end up in the Kawartha Lakes region then into Rice Lake etc.
