Gable Lake is a small lake located in Navarre, Florida. [1] [2] [3] The lake is primarily fed by a number of small unnamed creeks on the south shore. Subsequently, the lake outflows into the East Bay River and the East Bay via a small unnamed stream. Due to the former lack of a GNIS entry on the body of water, the name of the lake was not official until a recent ruling by the United States Board on Geographic Names. [3]

Gable Lake is presumed to be named after John Everett Gable and Katherine Gable, who lived in the area during the 1980s and 90s. [3]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Triple divide</span> Point where three drainage basins meet

A triple divide or triple watershed is a point on Earth's surface where three drainage basins meet. A triple divide results from the intersection of two drainage divides. Triple divides range from prominent mountain peaks to minor side peaks, down to simple slope changes on a ridge which are otherwise unremarkable. The elevation of a triple divide can be thousands of meters to barely above sea level. Triple divides are a common hydrographic feature of any terrain that has rivers, streams and/or lakes.
