Gaspereau Lake is a lake in Kings County, Nova Scotia, Canada, about 10 km south of the town of Kentville, Nova Scotia on the South Mountain.
[1] The lake is shallow with dozens of forested islands and hundreds of rocky islets (skerries).
At the natural outlet to the Gaspereau River, in the north-east corner of the lake, there is a control dam and fish ladder.
Artifacts retrieved from the site include lithics (stone flakes, projectile points, and scrapers), ground stone tools, ceramics, copper, red ochre paintstones, shark's teeth, and faunal remains, among others.
Both areas contain large amounts of toolstone specific to the Minas Basin in the Bay of Fundy,[4] indicating that toolstone was transported in large numbers up the Gaspereau River and worked into artifacts.
