Big and Little Vermillion Lakes in Ontario, Canada
This map has 8 layers
Big Vermilion Lake and Little Vermilion Lake are two distinct lakes located in the Kenora District of Ontario, Canada. Big Vermilion Lake is a significant water body west of Sioux Lookout, characterized by sheltered bays, rock piles, and reefs. It is part of the English River system, connecting to other lakes like Lac Seul. Anglers prize Big Vermilion Lake for its Lake Trout, Muskie, Northern Pike, Smallmouth Bass, and Whitefish populations. Fishing regulations on Big Vermilion Lake often permit only artificial lures. The surrounding area is rich in wildlife, including moose and woodland caribou.
Little Vermilion Lake, located south of Big Vermilion Lake and partially within Ojibway Provincial Park, feeds into Big Vermilion Lake. There appears to be variability in the reported size of Little Vermilion Lake depending on the specific location referenced, with some sources indicating a much larger lake than others. It is known to support species such as Northern Pike and Walleye, and some reports suggest the presence of Lake Trout as well. Both lakes are integral to the natural landscape of the Kenora District and offer various opportunities for outdoor recreation.
