Lakes and ponds are everywhere in sight but probably none over 
a mile in length, and the drainage is often stagnant. One type of small 
pond is completely rimmed with mossy growths, often on sloping ground 
with a semicircular dam of sphagnum on the lower side as if artificially 
built up.

The lakes on the northwestern side drain into Ste. Anne river, those 
on the southeast into the Magdalen. Those belonging to the latter 
system always contain brook trout and can be distinguished in that way. 
One fish caught by Joe Tanguay measured 16 inches.
