499-acre lake in Haliburton County, Ontario. The lake tops out around 100 ft. The depth data here comes from a transect sounding survey by the Ontario MNRF. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
On the chart, Havelock Lake draws 501 acres inside 9.5 miles of shoreline — one island included. An index of 3 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 24% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Tip to tip the water measures near 2.3 mi with a 1.1-mi widest point. The water lies in Haliburton County. For a second option, Snap Lake lies 1 mi southeast.
Spring puts lake trout in skinny water — 10 to 40 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 30 to 100 ft, wintering in 20 to 80 ft. Summer lake trout concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 100 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger covers the summer program.
