The Ivanhoe Lake is a lake in Sudbury District of the Canadian province of Ontario .
Ivanhoe Lake is located 6 miles south of Foleyet off the Ontario Highway 101 . The lake is located at an altitude of 343 m in the area of the Canadian Shield . It is divided into two parts: an approximately circular northern part with a diameter of about 3 km and an elongated 32 km long side bay in the south, into the end of which the Ivanhoe River flows. The maximum water depth is 20 m. Ivanhoe Lake is drained north by the Ivanhoe River. There are two drains - the western Old Channel and the eastern New Channel .
