BIG MINK LAKE
Big Mink Lake is a long narrow lake punctuated by several narrows and with a forked north end. Card Bay forms the northwest arm of the fork, and the three narrows from north to south are First Narrows, Red Pine Narrows, and Crooked Narrows. The lake is about 7.2 kilometers (4.5 mi) long and 0.7 kilometers (0.4 mi) wide and lies at an elevation of 402 meters (1,319 ft).
The primary inflow is Mink Creek from Upper Mink Lakes at the northeast. There are seven unnamed creeks as secondary inflows: at the northeast, east from Sud Lake, southeast, south, southwest, west, and northwest. The primary outflow, controlled by the Mink Lake Dam, is also Mink Creek, southwest to Moffat Pond, which eventually flows via the York River, Madawaska River, and Ottawa River to the St. Lawrence River.
