3,613-acre lake in Kenora District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 80 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1970, a decades-old survey (a transect sounding survey). The exact depth survey is published on its own because no defensible water-specific species roster was found.
Traced from the shoreline, Botsford Lake runs 3,629 acres with 43.3 miles of edge, broken up by 21 islands. An index of 5.1 puts the bank firmly in maze territory: point after pocket after cove, every one a casting target. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 40% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Tip to tip the water measures near 9.2 mi with a 1.7-mi widest point. The water lies in Kenora District. The nearest mapped water is Supee Lake, 2 mi to the west.
Structure-wise the chart holds 13 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 68 ft.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Ontario waters are set by the Ontario fishing regulations (FMZ summary) — and special regulations can apply to Botsford Lake specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish.
