unique to me.....I've never seen that deep of a steep, rock shoreline. Is it definitely from BW?

There's a flat area across the lake that almost looks like a road.

That's what I was thinking. Gut feeling this isn't the BW.

Looks like it could be on Superior somewhere.

I'm thinking it's Burntside Lake and that's the Echo Trail and beach in the distance, just north of Anderson's Resort????

It's a print hanging up in my gals work, it's claimed to be the BWCA but nothing I can recognize, the landscape is very unique though. I'm not sure if that's a road/trail in the back right, or just the edge of a wetland area?

is there a sticker on the back of it that might tell where is was made or purchased? that could be a starting point for detective work.

It does look like the end of the East Arm of Burntside and the Echo Trail in the distance (in an extremely low water year), but the shore in the foreground does not match that part of Burntside. I would guess it's from a lake with a significant flow through it, the rocks show a huge difference in water depths.

Palisades on Seagull?

Parts of Insula and Thomas look kind of like that. I couldn't say for sure. Cowdoc on this site is pretty good at guessing lake as are a few others. I'm sure someone here will recognize this. Great photo!

My first thought was the south shore of Superior. The Keweenaw Peninsula in the UP looks exactly like that; very rocky and covered in those orange lichens.

If you hit 'control' and + on your keyboard you can zoom in on the picture and clearly see a road with a pole of some sort. I'd vote for a great lake too. Not BWCA or Quetico. Too much exposed rock w/o moss

Lake Superior is one of the few places that has orange lichen on the rocks. I'd say it's Lake Superior.

That was my first thought.
