105-acre lake in Renfrew County, Ontario. The lake tops out around 20 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1971, a decades-old survey (a transect sounding survey). What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
The outline encloses 105 acres, worked by 3.8 miles of shoreline — 2 islands included. The 2.6 development index tells the story — a convoluted bank whose fishable edge far outruns the acreage. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 97% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Figure 1.1 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.4 mi at the beam. Renfrew County claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Tigger Lake, is 1 mi to the west.
