Poison Creek flows into the north-west corner of Chip Lake. It drains Beta Lake and Sunset Lake. Prior to entering Chip Lake, the Lobstick River takes on Brule and Little Brule Creeks.
The Yellowhead Highway ( Highway 16) passes along the south shore of Chip Lake. The small town of Wildwood can also be found on the lake's south shore. [1]
