66-acre lake in Nipissing District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 54 ft. The contours come from a model of the real basin shape and its known max depth. Read them as probabilities, not soundings, and keep them out of navigation decisions. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
On the chart, Chipmunk Lake draws 66 acres inside 2.4 miles of shoreline. Index 2.1 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 48% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.9 mi with a 0.3-mi widest point. You'll find it in Nipissing District. For a second option, Little Mykiss Lake lies 2 mi west.
Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 2 to 15 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 10 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 3 to 20 ft. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 24 ft of water that rates prime for brook trout in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
