6,098-acre lake in Cochrane District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 50 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1973, a decades-old survey (a transect sounding survey). The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
On the chart, Remi Lake draws 6,125 acres inside 36 miles of shoreline, with 14 islands in the mix. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 3.3) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 79% of this chart. Tip to tip the water measures near 5.6 mi with a 3.3-mi widest point. The water lies in Cochrane District. The nearest mapped water is Bonner Lake, 3 mi to the south.
