Echo Lake is located in the town of Charleston in Orleans County, Vermont within a region known as the Northeast Kingdom. It is one of only two deep, cold, and oligotrophic lakes in the Clyde River system, the other being nearby Lake Seymour.[1] The first Surveyor General of Vermont, Whitelaw, gave it the name of Echo Pond because when any sound was produced in its vicinity it was reverberated in various directions, producing a series of echoes.

The freshwater lake covers Шаблон:Convert and is Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert at its widest; its maximum depth is Шаблон:Convert.[2] The lake is fed by the outlet from Lake Seymour. The lake empties into the Clyde River, Lake Memphremagog and, eventually, Canada's St. Lawrence River.

The height is Шаблон:Convert by Шаблон:Convert. Maximum discharge is Шаблон:Convert per second. Its capacity is Шаблон:Convert. Normal storage is Шаблон:Convert. It drains an area of Шаблон:Convert.[3] The dam was reconstructed in 1984.[1]

The coldwater fishery at Echo Lake offers rainbow trout, brook trout and lake trout (both wild and stocked), as well as landlocked Atlantic salmon that have travelled from nearby Seymour Lake.[4] Self-sustaining populations of other species present in the lake include smallmouth bass, yellow perch and burbot.[5]
