Lower Beverley Lake History
Lower Beverley Lake is in southeastern Ontario, Canada. It was originally part of the “Irish Creek” survey plan for the Rideau Canal, but is now just south of the canal, separated from the Rideau system by a dam at Morton.
​
Upper and Lower Beverley Lakes were included in the original survey plans for the canal in the early 1800s, but there would have been insufficient water to maintain the water levels in the summer, and so the plans were altered.
​
Situated between the two lakes is the town of Delta, Ontario, named for the formation of land between the two lakes, and the historic Delta Mill.
