- ★★★★★over 4 years agoAbsolutely beautiful. Canoed on the lake; camped for a couple of nights in the northern part, late spring. The only downside was the black flies. They swarmed and bit, and often ignored the insect repellent. Despite that, they would not dampen my appreciation of this beautiful lake.
