About
Loch Lomond is a large spring-fed lake located 102 metres (335 ft) above Lake Superior, 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) south of the city of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. It is located in behind Mount McKay, in the Fort William First Nation and Neebing Municipality. Loch Lomond is considered to be a deep oligotrophic lake. The natural re-charge level of Loch Lomond from underground spring water is estimated at 57,100 m3 (12,600,000 imp gal) per day.
It is approximately 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) long and averages about 1.6 kilometres (0.99 mi) in width. The extreme depths over most of its area causes the greater part of Loch Lomond to become stratified each summer and has characteristically low temperatures in the hypolimnion.
