Lake on the Mountain Provincial Park is a Provincial park located in Prince Edward County, Ontario. The park has an area of 104 hectares.
The freshwater lake around which the park is based is located nearly 62 metres above the Bay of Quinte. It has no visible source of water and is not affected by drought. It is believed to be a collapsed doline (a type of sinkhole). The water level of this lake is about 150 feet higher than that of Lake Ontario. It was believed to be bottomless by early settlers. The depth of the lake is still not fully known, although previous attempts have established the depth as over 110 feet deep.
