Lake Lovering is 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) long by 0.75 kilometres (0.47 mi) wide. It has a surface area of 4.6 square kilometres (1.8 sq mi) and an average depth of 25 metres (82 ft). It is situated at an elevation of 243 metres (797 ft).[1]

Lake Lovering is contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB), dioxins and furans. These chemicals originated through a small stream retrieving water from a landfill.[2]

In 1970 concerned landowners created an organization, la Société de conservation du lac Lovering, in response to the consequences of rapid residential urbanization of the lake shore. Its goal is to raise awareness of the hazards to the lake to local residents and authorities.[3]
