5,116-acre lake in Sudbury District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 98 ft. The depth data here comes from a transect sounding survey by the Ontario MNRF. The exact depth survey is published on its own because no defensible water-specific species roster was found.
Drawn out, this is 5,139 acres of water rimmed by 112 miles of bank, with 73 islands in the mix. The 11.2 development index tells the story — a convoluted bank whose fishable edge far outruns the acreage. About 64% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Figure 19.6 mi of water from one end to the other, 6.9 mi at the beam. You'll find it in Sudbury District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Byrne Lake, 3 mi south of here.
Structure-wise the chart holds 24 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 48 ft.
