Chocolate Lake is located in the community of Armdale, Nova Scotia in the City of Halifax Nova Scotia.[1] The lake is surrounded by many private homes as well as a Best Western hotel[2] and a city beach[3].
This body of water is an artificial lake in which no aquatic species have been introduced.[citation needed] . The name is from the chocolate factory, one of many light industries that used to be on this little lake's shores. The lake formed after the locals quarried the rock .
Chocolate Lake is referenced in the Jenn Grant song titled Dreamer[4] at approximately 1:52.
