Otter Lake is not part of the Rideau Canal system.
It is part of the Otter Creek / Hutton Creek Complex which is an area with a large north-eastern drainage pattern towards the mid-part of the Rideau River.
The catchment area draining into the lake is about 36 square km and the shoreline length is about 20 km.
The lake is 124 meters above mean sea level and is part of the Rideau River drainage basin.
There are several parent streams flowing into Otter Lake and one primary outlet, which is Otter Creek, which meanders about 33 km before flowing into the Rideau River south of Smiths Falls.
Despite its relatively small size, Otter Lake holds a large volume of water and is quite deep, up to 36 m at its deepest location and generally exhibits the characteristics of a mesotrophic lake although the deep bathymetry of the central and southern areas of the lake is more typical of an oligotrophic lake.
As a result of its depth, the lake is one of the last lakes in the Rideau Lakes region to freeze in winter, and as a result, the lake is home to a large variety of water fowl.
Lake Trout experienced extirpation from Otter Lake likely in the 1970s.
There was a few attempts at stocking Lake Trout but they failed and the program was switched over to Splake in the 1980s and 1990s.
Since the 2000s, the lake is no longer stocked with Splake primarily because of low oxygen in deep waters during the summer months.
There are numerous natural wetland areas around the lake that are important habitat.
Most of these wetlands are classified as "Locally Significant" however some have not yet been evaluated or classified.
Wetlands to the east of Otter Lake are classified as "Provincially Significant" and represent an example of "linked wetlands" which allow a more diverse population of wildlife.
Otter Lake abuts the Frontenac Axis of the Canadian Shield on the southwest with part of the lake being underlain by carbonate rock.
The carbonate rock on the northeastern shore of Otter Lake is some of the only examples of Cambrian rock in Ontario.
Otter Lake is also fed by numerous springs although little is known about the volume or source of these springs.
Overall, the water in Otter Lake replenishes about every four years by surface runoff, precipitation and springs.
