Lower Ebeemee Lake is situated principally in the southeastern part of T. 5, R. 9. It is very irregular in shape, consisting practically of three ponds joined by narrow channels. The most easterly of these channels has been examined with reference to diversion of water to Schoodic Lake. At the time of the observation (July, 1907) the water surface of Ebeemee Lake was at about elevation 425 feet above sea level, or 5 feet lower than that of Schoodic Lake. The divide between the lakes rises perhaps 30 to 40 feet above Ebeemee Lake. The outlet of Ebeemee Lake is said to be controlled by a dam about 50 feet long, affording a head of 8 feet and used for log driving. This dam could be raised sufficiently to effect diversion. The distance across the divide between the two lakes is between 1.5 and 2 miles, and the diversion would add to the drainage area of Schoodic Lake some 87 square miles. Considering the large fall of Schoodic Stream (over 200 feet in about 4 miles), this project may sometime be executed.
