 Last Light, Lake Clear, (Big Rock) Charles Comfort
Lake Clear lies on the southern edge of the rift valley known as the Ottawa-Bonnechere graben, with the escarpment of the Mount St. Patrick Fault along its south shore. Its surface area is 17.4 km.² Lake Clear has the second longest shoreline of all the Bonnechere watershed lakes, at 46.4 km. Its deepest point is 46 m, with an average depth of approximately 20 m. Creeks running into Lake Clear include Kregurs, Neilan and Rodden, and the lake is connected to the Bonnechere River though Hurds Creek. The geological history of the lake and its environs is quite unique and explains the presence of Ryan Mountain, Big Rock and the many islands. Visit https://sites.google.com/site/lakeclearconservancy/geography for additional information. Lake Clear has over a dozen islands that, with the exception of two that are privately owned, are available to the public. The Lake Clear Conservancy stewards these islands and manages 7 island campsites.
