The Couchiching Institute on Public Affairs holds its annual conference on the shores of the lake every August. Camp Couchiching is also located near the lake.
The lake is 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) long and slightly less than 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) wide. The city of Orillia is located on the narrow channel connecting this lake with Lake Simcoe.
Water quality
In a 2012 study, the lake showed a microalgae density of 2.4 × 10^7/cm^2, with a high species diversity. The lake showed low total phosphorus and high organic carbon content, when compared to Lake Simcoe.[2]
