Canobie Lake is predominantly spring-fed. Aside from the amusement park, the shores of the lake are primarily lined with houses. Water from the lake flows via Policy Brook to the Spicket River and thence to the Merrimack River in Lawrence, Massachusetts.
The lake is classified as a warmwater fishery, with observed species including largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, chain pickerel, brown bullhead, black crappie, rainbow trout, brook trout, bluegill, and pumpkinseed.
Canobie Lake was originally called Haverhill Pond in the 1700s, then became known as Haverhill Bound Pond, Polis Pond, Policy Pond, and finally Canobie Lake. The name "Canobie" came from a region in Scotland named Cannobie in honor of the Scotch Irish settlers who founded Windham.
