Mysterious lake inexplicably replenishes its freshwater without a source

[UM-Bot]

A picturesque lake perched high atop a mountain in Ontario, Canada has a mystery that has yet to be solved.

Hypothesis: Fairies. Fairies replenish the water.

Confession: I really, really, and I mean really had to go bad. I feel better now.

A quite similar to the Fosse Dionne in France. For centuries, people have relied on the gushing, colour-changing waters of this ancient well – but no-one has ever been able to locate its source.

In the heart of France’s idyllic Burgundy region, surrounded by manicured vineyards, fortified Renaissance chateaux and medieval hill towns, sits one of the bucolic area’s most mysterious attractions: a seemingly bottomless spring-fed pit in the small town of Tonnarre known as the Fosse Dionne.

That's pretty. I should go there.

Though that just supports my hypothesis. The water fairy Melusine is associated with Burgundy.

 What is really super amazing is that it never, ever, ever rains on that particular mountain. Ever!  Not a drop!

Water pressure from bellow and spread throughout the base of the lake? I have no idea how geological processes go.

There is obviously a “ source” of water, because, there is water in the lake.   If it doesn’t come from above, it comes from below?

It has a source, they just haven't found it yet.

Dumn article title.  Of course there is a "source".   Probably springs.

Yup Abe, that’s undoubtedly the answer to the mystery.     Over most of the earth there is much more water underground, than above.

Blame gravity.

That photo is NOT the lake they are speaking about. Not even close. It�s called � Lake on the Mountain�.

Aquifer and rain...There's a lot of lakes without any spring or river coming in. Water just sip in underground. 

But you can have a pristine spring nearby:
