1,114-acre lake in Kenora District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 26 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1978, 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.
Frances Lake maps at 1,119 acres behind 23.3 miles of shoreline, broken up by 10 islands. A development index of 5 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. About 65% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Call it 4.4 mi long by 1.8 mi wide at the broadest reach. Kenora District claims this one. Irwin Lake sits 12 mi south — the closest neighbouring chart.
Frances Lake carries 7 mapped structure features, topping out (or rather bottoming out) at Deep basin, about 26 ft down.
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 Frances Lake specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish.
