23-acre lake near Carlton County. The lake tops out around 35 ft. The depth data here comes from the Minnesota DNR survey of 1967, a decades-old survey (the DNR's original lake-survey map). Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
The outline encloses 23 acres, worked by 0.9 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.4), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. Roughly 78% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. Call it 0.3 mi long by 0.2 mi wide at the broadest reach. It sits in Carlton County. Its nearest charted neighbour, Hanging Horn, is 1 mi to the east.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: walleye in 4 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 15 to 35 ft before dropping to 11 to 35 ft for winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 16 ft of water that rates prime for walleye in fall. Plan around the evening and early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) gets it done.
