Lake Doré
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lake Dore is a freshwater lake in Renfrew County, Ontario near Eganville, Ontario. It is drained by Snake River, which eventually flows into Muskrat Lake. The lake is about 8 km long and 5 km wide. A large and prospering clam population has been rumored to exist in the lake. Swimming, windsurfing, canoeing, and the fishing are popular ways to spend summertime on the lake. Lake Dore is without a doubt the largest fresh water lake in North America without any islands.
[edit] Environment
Sandbars provide a natural habitat for walleye, small, and large mouth bass. The Ministry of Natural Resources stocked the lake with Walleye around the year 1999 but since then numbers have continuously declined due to fishing. The lake is popular with Common Loons, grebes and ducks. In the spring of 2006, on the Northern side of the lake, a beaver dam burst due to a deluge of rain; resulting in a dramatic change in the geological history of Lake Dore. As a result of the massive downpour "Lisk’s Spit" was formed. It is a horseshoe shaped, sandy delta, that has become home to seagulls and Bodie.
