Fraser Lake

From BWCAWiki

Fraser Lake has a surface area of 811 acres and a maximum depth of 80 feet. It connects with Thomas Lake to the southwest via a navigable channel. This channel typically has dangerous ice conditions in winter. The east end of Fraser connects by paddle and portage to Sagus Lake, from which a remote string of lakes and portages leads to Little Saganaga and Gabimichigami Lakes and several other canoe routes. From the north shore of the lake a portage leads to Gerund Lake and a short string of scenic lakes leading up to Kekekabic Lake. Fraser Lake contains walleyes, northern pike, smallmouth bass, and lake trout.

The far northeast end of Fraser Lake burned during the 1976 Fraser Lake Fire. As of the late 1980s, at least part of the burn area was regenerating to white pine. The area between Fraser and Gerund Lakes was forested with ancient white and red pines with a stand origin dating back to 1692. This stand may have been largely blown down by the July 4th, 1999 storm.
