The lake is 1.3 km (0.81 mi) long and 1.8 km (1.1 mi) wide. It represents a portion of the Lake Huron drainage basin, a large area where water drains into Lake Huron. After Iceland Lake drains into Lake Temagami via the South Tetapaga River, the water drains through the Temagami River. It then enters the Sturgeon River, which empties into Lake Nipissing. Lake Nipissing then drains into Lake Huron at Georgian Bay via the French River.
