Morchella: " "


Wow, I have no clue what lake this is, but I know I want to go there.

Some more good guesses, but still nobody has guessed correctly. Here is a photo of the majority of the lake from on top of the rocky outcropping. This lake has no campsites.

Ecstasy Lake?


High ridges, mostly burned shoreline, one island, curved-shoreline?


I really wanted to say Famine, but I think that lake is too straight for this.

Nope, never mind. Should have looked at a map instead of trusting my memory. Not enough islands in the pic.

LindenTree: "Sunrise paddler is on a roll."


Frankly it's a little embarrassing the large percentage of my very little free time I spend staring at maps...induces lots of eye rolling from the family :)

I was a little slow in responding! Some very good guesses are gone. I'm going Alpine

P.S. The tradition for NTL has been one guess per clue. :)

There have been some good guesses but nobody is correct yet! Attached is another photo (I apologize for the low quality shot) of the rocky elevation along the one of the shorelines of this lake. I was able to hike/climb up to the top of this feature as well.


Since I am new, I am rather unfamiliar with the etiquette of NTL posts (such as multiple guesses and post details). Since I am trying to make this a challenge and have hardly revealed many details, I'm fine if people want to re-guess.

Is this Morris Lake between Sag and Granite River?

Is it Marble?

SunrisePaddler: "Is this Morris Lake between Sag and Granite River?"


Yes this is Morris Lake! Looking back on the photos, it is quite a pretty lake and would certainly be nice to revisit. Too bad it doesn't have a campsite but there are a couple sites just outside in James Bay. Otherwise it is viable as a day trip on a calm day on Sag (or else via boat/tow service).

Me too. I impatiently await the next clue or a correct answer so I can begin planning on how to get to this lake!

I recall now that a friend recommended Morris Lake as a worthy day trip for a recent trip if there was time (turned out there wasn't), but I had forgotten what the draw was...now I see! How was the portage from James Bay?

I think this lake has been added to a few bucket lists on account of your pics :)
