  • Leamy Lake (in French: Lac Leamy) is a lake in the Hull sector of Gatineau, Quebec, Canada. The lake is located just to the south of the Gatineau River, and just west of the Ottawa River, and is linked to both of them with flowing in from the Gatineau and exiting to the Ottawa. To the south is the , a former quarry that is now a lake that is also linked. The lake is named after Andrew Leamy, an Irish settler in the region who operated a mill near the lake. He was married to Erexina Wright, the granddaughter of Hull's founder, Philemon Wright. The area became heavily industrialized in the nineteenth century. Much of the industry left the area after the Second World War and in the 1960s much of the area around the lake was turned into a large park. The beach on the lakeshore became a popular swimming location, however there were persistent problems with pollution, mainly flowing in from the Gatineau River. To solve this the inflow to the lake was blocked in the 1970s. This solved some of the problem. By the 1990s the Gatineau River had become much cleaner, and the stagnation of the lake was causing its own problems, the channel was thus reopened. On the southern shore of the lake, between it and Lac de la Carrière, is the Casino du Lac-Leamy, one of the region's major tourist attractions. (en)
  • Leamy Lake (Frans: Lac Leamy) is een meer in de sector Hull van Gatineau, Quebec, Canada. Het meer ligt net ten zuiden van de , en westelijk van de Ottawa, en is met beiden verbonden: de instroom komt uit de Gatineau en de uitstroom gaat naar de Ottawa. Het is eveneens verbonden met het zuidelijker Lac de la Carrière, een vroegere groeve. Het meer werd vernoemd naar Andrew Leamy, een Iers immigrant die in de buurt een molen had. In de 19e eeuw was de omgeving zwaar geïndustrialiseerd, maar na de Tweede Wereldoorlog en in de jaren 60 verdween de industrie en werd er rond het meer een groot park aangelegd. Het strand werd populair, maar er bleven problemen met de pollutie komend van de Gatineau. Het blokkeren van de instroom verhielp hieraan. Het meer werd nu stilstaand water, wat ook weer problemen veroorzaakte. Toen in de jaren 1990 de waterkwaliteiet van de Gatineau voldoende verbeterd was werd de verbinding weer hersteld. Op de zuidoever is het Casino du Lac-Leamy een belangrijke toeristische attractie. (nl)
