The Canadian province of Ontario has a lake that is shaped like a heart. Its name means "Heart Lake," and it covers almost 18 hectares. It is a kettle lake, which means that floodwaters or receding glaciers formed it. It is interesting to note that Austria, Germany, Turkey, France, and the United States all have heart-shaped lakes. A lake called Heart Lake can be found in Brampton, Ontario, Canada's northernmost region. Heart Lake is a kettle lake, as is Teapot Lake (0.7 hectares, 1.26 metres (4.1 feet) depth), the latter of which is a rare meromictic lake.
In the 1950s, the area was made accessible to the public. The lake itself is located in the 418-acre Heart Lake Conservation Area, where students from the neighbourhood elementary schools plant trees each year. In addition to offering boat rentals, there are many biking and running trails. Heart Lake Secondary School is one of the institutions that bear its name, as does the neighbourhood immediately surrounding the lake.
