Probably one of the most popular lakes in the province! It's big, beautiful, and has a lot going on!

Ive only had experience with the Northern end of the lake, apparently the south shore is very different with long sandy beaches. Thus I guess its the edge of the Canadian Shield. its a lake you need to be cautious on. Big openings and crossings all over the lake. Very cold water in the fall.
