Located in the Shubenacadie watershed, it ultimately feeds into the Bay of Fundy.

However, it also feeds into Halifax Harbour through the canal locks at Shubie Park.

The Lake Charles Trail, part of the Trans Canada Trail, runs along the western side of the lake, from Shubie Park to the Highway 107 overpass at Route 318 in Portobello.

The trail is approximately 4.39 km long, and has a crusher dust surface.
