In this paper some properties of the previously proposed lattice version of the Abelian Chern-Simons gauge theory are studied. The lattice analog of BF systems is constructed, and the properties of both theories are found to be in close correspondence with those of the continuous theory. The correspondence with two-dimensional lattice statistical systems is established and the lattice origin of the framing of Wilson loops is shown.
