About this lake
A backcountry Porcupine Forest lake known for trophy walleye and northern pike over tons of underwater structure. Despite the long haul-trail access, the lake itself is family-friendly with great shoreline access and quality angling. Launch areas are restricted to small watercraft. Most commonly reached by snowmobile in winter; the summer trail is long and rough.
Size: 87.5 ha
Max depth: 23.3 m
