Here's another picture. Looking north around sunrise from the one campsite on this lake.

Unfortunately, this lake is small enough that I don't have pictures from anywhere except the campsite. Here are two more, plus some additional information.

Looking NE after scooting around the tip of land in the foreground of my last picture:





Looking back to the W from about the same place in the strange orange light of sunrise through high-altitude smoke from the 2021 western wildfires:




This lake's one campsite is on its one island. The combination of these four pictures has shown most of the water surface of this lake, excluding the part behind the island, which is where its one portage enters.

Lol, seems my Saganaga guess was just a little off.

Boulder?

You got it, SunrisePaddler! There's another Boulder of course, but it's got more than one site and portage, so you must mean the one down in the southwest section.

Little Crab and Big Rice were within a few miles, but I thought perhaps I'd picked a place that too few bother with. I should know better than to doubt this crowd.

Yep, that's the one I meant. I scoured the map, saw that island holding the lone campsite on the lake (with the portage behind) and threw my hat in the ring again. :)
