Christie Lake

Christie Lake is located in Lanark County, Tay Valley Township (formerly Township of Bathurst Burgess Sherbrooke).  The lake is situated approximately 15 km (9 mi) southwest of Perth.   Typical of the Canadian Shield, the watershed is characterized by thin soils and areas of exposed bedrock.  The lake has a long, irregular shoreline, with rocky outcrops and steep cliffs dominating most of the northern and southern shoreline.  There are 31 islands, ranging in size from a very small outcrop of 0.04 ha (0.1 ac) to 6 ha (15 ac) in size.
