North Lake is a geographic parish in York County, New Brunswick, Canada.[2]
Prior to the 2023 governance reform, for governance purposes it formed the local service district of the parish of North Lake,[3] which was a member of the Western Valley Regional Service Commission (WVRSC).[4]
The parish takes its name from the eponymous lake.[5]
North Lake was erected in 1879 from Canterbury Parish.[6]
North Lake Parish is bounded:[2][7][8]
- on the north by the Carleton County line;
- on the east by a line running up Eel River, including First Eel Lake, Second Eel Lake, and Third Eel Lake, then east-southeasterly across land to La Coote Lake, then down La Coote Lake and Big La Coote Stream to the northern end of Palfrey Lake;
- on the southeast by a line running southwesterly from the southeastern corner of a grant to Abraham Lint west of Allandale Road near the Saint John River to a point west of Sandy Point on Spednic Lake, paralleling the southeastern lines of other parishes south of the Saint John River;
- on the west by the international border, running up Spednic Lake, Grand Lake, the North Lake Thoroughfare, North Lake, and Monument Brook to the Carleton County line.
