- Porters Lake, Nova Scotia
Porters Lake is a residential community in the eastern shore region of the Halifax Regional Municipality, Nova Scotia between Trunk 7 and Route 207, 27.8 km from Halifax. The residents mainly commute to jobs in Dartmouth, Burnside Industrial Park or in Downtown Halifax. The community is built around the lake (24 km long) for which the community is named after.
The Lake
Porter's Lake is 24 km long but never more than a kilometer wide and is in the shape of a crescent. It is one of the most popular lakes for recreational boating in the region. The Lake is fed by a small river and drains to the Atlantic Ocean near Lawrencetown Beach. Because of this, the lake varies in salinity from almost completely fresh water at the north end to nearly that of ocean water at the south end.
