68-acre lake in Manitoulin District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 4 ft. The depth data here comes from a transect sounding survey by the Ontario MNRF. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Totten Lake maps at 68 acres behind 1.8 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.6) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. The whole water is littoral — nothing here runs deeper than ~15 ft, so it's all weed-and-bait territory. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.5 mi with a 0.5-mi widest point. Manitoulin District claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, West Bass Lake, is 1 mi to the southwest.
Start shallow in spring: walleye sit in 1 to 4 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 1 to 4 ft covers summer, 1 to 4 ft covers winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 2 ft of water that rates prime for walleye in fall. Warm-month bites cluster around the evening and early morning. Throw a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) until the fish tell you otherwise.
