It lies 45.3 km south-west of Bancroft, ON (from Bancroft, ON: bearing 215°T), and is situated 9.2 km west-south-west of Apsley.

In the hush of late afternoon, the air often carries the clean scent of pine needles warmed by the sun, a subtle perfume that speaks of the wilderness pressing in, a reminder of the ancient geology that shaped this terrain. The history of Anstruther Lake is deeply entwined with the logging and fishing industries that once sustained its early settlers, a legacy still visible in the weathered docks and the quiet, enduring presence of generations who have made their homes here.
