As the Province of Ontario’s third largest lake, many may be surprised to learn that Lake Nipissing is relatively shallow with an average depth of only 4.5 meters (14.8 feet). The lake has been culturally significant to the local indigenous groups and its name translates to “at little water” in the local Ojibwe language.
It is also known for its highly productive ecosystem and boasts 44 different species of fish. Because of this, the lake has become a popular destination for recreational fishing. If you love fishing, its natural beauty and ample fish supply make it a great option for your next vacation. Read on to know more about the top fishing lodges near Lake Nipissing, Canada.
