Loch Lomond is a lake in geographic Glasgow Township [3] in the Unorganized North Part of Algoma District in Northeastern, Ontario, Canada. [1] It is in the Great Lakes Basin and lies within the Chapleau Crown Game Preserve.
A lake is an area filled with water, localized in a basin, that is surrounded by land, apart from any river or other outlet that serves to feed or drain the lake. Lakes lie on land and are not part of the ocean, and therefore are distinct from lagoons, and are also larger and deeper than ponds, though there are no official or scientific definitions. Lakes can be contrasted with rivers or streams, which are usually flowing. Most lakes are fed and drained by rivers and streams.

This river is 113 km (70 mi) in length and drains an area of about 5,200 km2 (2,000 sq mi).

The farthest north and west of the Great Lakes chain, Superior has the highest elevation of all five great lakes and drains into the St. Mary's River.
