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 :)

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.

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.

Mountain lake has nice views

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

Wisini and Kek have beautiful cliffs and bluffs. Boundary Waters Outfitters

Chimney Stack Lake, No Name,Spangle, Inspiration Lake in the Armstrong Station Area 300 ft Cliff to Lake and 300 foot deep water. 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
