About
Gaspereau Lake is a lake in Kings County, Nova Scotia, Canada,
about 10 km south of the town of Kentville, Nova Scotia on the South Mountain.
It is the largest lake in Kings County, and the fifth largest lake in Nova Scotia.
The lake is shallow with dozens of forested islands and hundreds of rocky islets (skerries).
The water level of the lake is controlled by Nova Scotia Power. At the natural outlet to the Gaspereau River, in the north-east corner of the lake, there is a control dam and fish ladder. Another control dam at the south-east corner of the lake controls outflow to a canal which diverts water to hydroelectricity stations on the lower sections of the Gaspereau River system.
