Haven Lake

Kawishiwi Ranger District

This lake would probably be more of a swamp, except a large beaver dam holds up its water levels next to the short liftover portage between Haven Lake and Boot Lake. There is a big rock slab that provides much of the barrier between these two lakes, while the beavers provide the rest.

If you are heading to Abinodji Lake, the portage is a steep, rocky affair making it harder than you may expect for its 85 rod length.

This lake is small at 15 acres and only seven feet deep, but it has a good supply of northern pike if you have a fishing pole handy.

Looking northwest across Haven Lake. The west bay of the lake is more shallow. The portage to Boot Lake is in the far distance which is where you are headed.



A short evening paddle across Haven Lake. You cut down the middle of the lake traversing the lake from the Abinodji Lake portage landing to the Boot Lake portage landing.
