You've probably heard of Lac Seul. It's the massive crescent-shaped lake that spans from Ear Falls in the west to Sioux Lookout in the east and is part of the English River Watershed. Lac Seul drains westward via the Winnipeg River to Lake Winnipeg, and ultimately to Hudson Bay.
You also may have heard about its great walleye fishing, but do you know about all these other Lac Seul facts?
1 - Lac Seul Means “Lake Alone” in French
This lake is so massive that you indeed will feel alone if you venture into the center of the lake or in one of the many bays.
2 - Lac Seul is BIG
Lac Seul is approximately 150 miles wide, has 3,000 miles of shoreline, and covers over 560 square miles (358,400 acres). It is the seventh-largest lake in Ontario and the second-largest lake wholly in Ontario (second to Nipigon).
