timatkn	01/17/2026 07:54PM In addition to others mentioned SAK Narrows camp I also really like the views in Quetico on Ted Lake to the right of the Pictos, above the Pictos on Darky Lake, Suzannete cliff camp The Palisades on Seagull Cigar Island, Quetico
canoehead	01/17/2026 06:08PM Not sure it is safe to give the location of this one but the water below is plenty deep and super clear. We measured 83' to the water, and with a running start the jump appeared just as long. It would be a long haul out if you broke a rib, but this place will lure you in. With a lower jumping platform of 20', blueberries all around, and then you see a slightly used trial leading up to more blueberries and the high platform. There are great views but you risk being lured over the edge by the sweet sounds of what I believe to be sirens.

Pictographic Images and Inland Lake Trout/Whitefish and Cisco that literally fill the screen." Put in on Curve Lake from Wawieg Lake and follow the creek that flows under the rocks all the way to Spangle Lake (Star Spangled Banner Lake) to the top of the outlet. Maybe require some tools chainsaw etc. Next follow Star Spangled Banner Lakes to the north end. Find the Portage to Inspireation Lake and the Hole in the wall cut out. I used to hide under when it rained I could hide a whole 14ft boat under the Cliff Cut out just before the Inspiration Lake Portage to Star Spangled Lake

naturboy12	12/01/2025 12:16PM A few I have experienced from various lakes: Wood Lake reminds me of a smaller version of the Winchell cliffs you mentioned. Wisini Another spot on South Arm of Knife, north end of the lake opposite Eddy Falls
jwartman59	11/30/2025 10:24AM Mountain lake has nice views
Michwall2	11/30/2025 08:24AM Notable cliffs from my trips: Makwa Lake - Huge cliff face that comes right down to the water. Campsite on one end. Fishdance Lake - There are pictographs here. l have also seen people on top of the cliffs. Seagull Lake - Palisades. South Arm of Knife Lake - Thunder Point. Not so much a cliff as a hill with a view. There are also campsites with great views behind the main campsite space.
Lightfoot	11/29/2025 10:06PM Both of these lakes are very easy to get to. Clearwater is an entry lake and the Rose Lake views are from the Border Route Trail between Duncan and Rose. Rose Lake has some nice overlooks from the Border Route Trail. Also Clearwater Lake.
wcarlen	11/29/2025 05:22PM Hello everyone! One of my favorite lakes is Winchell lake, as the cliffs are just stunning and a really nice adventure. Nice vistas like that are not super common in my experience. Have you been to any other notable cliffs/viewpoints that you would recommend? Thank you in advance :)
