About this lake
White Lake sits along PR 307 in Whiteshell Provincial Park with Rainbow Falls just upstream, and the government's bathymetric map lists walleye, yellow perch, white sucker, northern pike and rock bass as its common species. It has been stocked with walleye fry regularly since 2008, and the 2022 fisheries assessment also turned up black crappie and smallmouth bass. The lake covers about 8.09 square kilometres with a maximum depth of 7.3 metres.
Size: 8.09 km2
Max depth: 7.3 m
