226-acre lake near Kanabec County. The lake tops out around 10 ft. The depth data here comes from the Minnesota DNR survey of 1957, a decades-old survey (the DNR's original lake-survey map). Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Drawn out, this is 226 acres of water rimmed by 3.7 miles of bank. Index 1.7 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine.

The water lies in Kanabec County. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Mora, 6 mi west of here.
