The York River flows into Baptiste Lake from the west and leaves at the southeast tip, where a dam controls the level. The lake sits in the former Herschel Township, now part of Hastings Highlands. It has long arms and bays, a marina and a mix of classic family cottages and larger year-round homes. Most of the shore is road access. Bancroft is the nearest town for groceries and hardware.
