Lake Manitou

Lake Manitou is the largest lake on Manitoulin Island in Ontario, Canada. With an area of 104 square kilometres (40 sq mi),[1] it is the largest lake on a lake island in the world.[2][1][3] Reaching depths of up to 162 ft, it is also the deepest of the 108 lakes on Manitoulin Island [4]. Lake Manitou's depth creates a natural habitat for lake trout and ling, making it a popular fishing destination. Other fish including bass, whitefish, pickerel, and pike are also seen throughout the deep, clear waters [4]. It is drained by the Manitou River.
