38-acre lake in Renfrew County, Ontario. The lake tops out around 20 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.
Traced from the shoreline, McKenna Lake runs 38 acres with 1.1 miles of edge. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.3) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. Roughly 89% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. The basin spans about 0.4 mi end to end and 0.2 mi across at its widest. You'll find it in Renfrew County. The nearest mapped water is Sweezy Lake, 1 mi to the west.
When the water first warms, yellow perch slide up into 3 to 12 ft. Summer is a 6 to 20 ft game here, winter a 6 to 20 ft one. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 19 ft of water and rates prime come fall. The feeding windows run early morning. Keep a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm rigged through the warm months.
