68-acre lake in Timiskaming District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 33 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 2003 (an MNRF lake survey). The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Traced from the shoreline, Norman Lake runs 68 acres with 1.5 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. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 44% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Call it 0.6 mi long by 0.3 mi wide at the broadest reach. You'll find it in Timiskaming District. For a second option, Chrysler Lake lies 3 mi west.
