238-acre lake in Haliburton County, Ontario. The lake tops out around 92 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1981 (a transect sounding survey). The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
The outline encloses 239 acres, worked by 3.8 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.8) gives it some bays to work without being a maze.
