We all have to believe in something. I believe I'll go paddle.

May the rivers be crooked and winding, and your portages lonesome, leading to the most amazing view.

Here's another pic facing southwest. This lake has multiple ways to enter/exit the lake and multiple campsites....

Well, another hint. This lake is known for it's exceptional trophy smallmouth bass potential....this not quite trophy smallie was caught on a spawning bed at one of the two canoe landings at the campsite....

This lake can be entered via a portage from a river, from a lake with pictos, from a smaller lake loaded with eater walleye, and from a portage known to be quite long and steep....

Oh, and this lake also is known to harbor trophy northern pike. Might have walleye, but I have yet to snag one....

Another photo of a campsite looking mostly east....

I don't know what lake this is, but by your descriptions...it is definitely one that I should find.

I had no idea the average depth of Wicksteed was seven feet, but the other clues got me there. I’ll get Lake 53 going soon.
