This lake has no portages in or out and no campsites.

Warpaint lake? I know sometimes people head up there. Tough one!

Papoose? Not sure if it meets the no portages criteria..

That has two hiking campsites so maybe not a good guess.

Hmm... decent sized lake, older forested shore line, some level of winter access....

So many options. I'm going with Dawkins.

This is my last photo so I’ll add more clues.

If you follow the river out of this lake you’ll reach an entry point portage.

There used to be a nice ski/snowshoeing trail adjacent to this lake.

I was going to throw in the towel with Lake Befudled or Lac La Clueless....but I'll give it another try with Baldpate Lake.

Baldpate was the one that made sense to me. I see a guess for that above? If it's Baldpate, I'm mad I didn't get that sooner since I visited in December.

If it's not Baldpate, I don't really know what it would be. Bezhik seems a stretch?

That is funny because I had Baldpate photo tee'd up as an option whenever I got to post again. Problem was, I only had a picture from right at the mouth of the creek so I didn't recognize it from further out (ice wasn't safe yet when we were there.) Nice one, I like the obscure ones!

There's no way I get that without all of the helpful clues. I mean, I'd never heard of the lake before and certainly wouldn't recognize it from a photo. But that's what I find so enjoyable about this game...you learn so much scouring maps and disecting pics and clues.

Unfortunately, I don't have much in the way of obscure ones, TreeBear. But I intend to change that with future trips. :)
