Canonto Lake's perimeter is roughly 17.4 km with a maximum depth of 21.4 metres and a mean depth of 3.8 metres. Common fish found in the lake are Walleye, White Sucker, Northern Pike, Brown Bullhead, Smallmouth Bass, Rock Bass, Lake Herring and Sunfish. The nearest village to Canonto Lake is Ompah.
