ABOUT THE AREA: Charleston Lake is located on the Frontenac Axis, a southerly extension of the Precambrian or Canadian Shield that extends from Algonquin Park in Ontario to the Adirondack Mountains of New York State. The Frontenac Axis is characterized by shallow till and rock ridges, and is noticeably different from surrounding lands to the east and west, known as limestone plain, that have a relatively flat topography. The Frontenac Axis area consists of an undulating landscape, with relatively bare rock knobs interspersed with channels filled with clay.
