The lake and its amenities are accessible from Highway 922 (gravel).

The lake is long and narrow and split into two parts by a narrow channel. The southern part of the lake is relatively shallow with a max depth of 7m (23ft). The northern part is deeper with a max depth of 40m (130ft).

There are a number of communities, resorts, campgrounds, subdivisions and a bible camp on the lake. These are all clustered on the southern end of the lake. There are multiple boat launches, mostly private or requiring payment.

Delaronde Lake (Zig Zag Bay) Recreation Site is privately leased and has a campground, boat launch and beach (all requiring payment).

Delaronde Lake is a very popular fishing destination, and you'll find Northern Pike, Walleye, and Yellow Perch here.

This lake has been personally visited by myself, Matthew Siemens.

I’m pretty sure there are no lake trout in Delaronde

Reply from Matthew Siemens

Hi Ken, Thanks for the comment! You're right, as far as I know, no Lake Trout in there. It looks like that that was from user submitted data. I've removed that record. Thanks again!
