About this lake
A deep, turquoise, spring-fed lake beside East Blue that is a favourite fall destination for brook trout anglers. The gin-clear water lets you watch trout staging on their spawning redds in autumn. Walleye were stocked here in past years and round out the fishery. Note it is electric-motor only, and fluctuating water levels can make the launch tricky.
