Fishing Columbus L.: what the data says

221-acre lake in Kenora District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 16 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1979, 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, Columbus L. runs 222 acres with 8.6 miles of edge — 5 islands included. The 4.1 development index tells the story — a convoluted bank whose fishable edge far outruns the acreage. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 95% of this chart. The basin spans about 1.7 mi end to end and 0.9 mi across at its widest. You'll find it in Kenora District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Duck L., 1 mi west of here.
