189-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 56 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 2022 (an MNRF lake survey). What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Traced from the shoreline, Meenach Lake runs 190 acres with 4.8 miles of edge, with 6 islands in the mix. With a shoreline index of 2.5, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. 40% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. End to end it runs roughly 1.1 mi, about 0.6 mi across. You'll find it in Algoma District. The nearest mapped water is Olsen L. 13, 1 mi to the west.
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 15 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 10 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 3 to 20 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 28 ft, rated prime for summer brook trout. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.
