the lily padded back bays and weed beds, to the 126 feet
(38.4 m) of water where the lake trout can be found, this
lake offers the type of structure that is a fisherman's
paradise. In the shallow portion, with depths to 30 feet
(10 m), of Loughborough Lake you will find large mouth and
small mouth bass, northern pike and a variety of pan fish.
The deeper, reservoir like portion contains large mouth
and small mouth bass, northern pike, lake trout, rainbow
trout and pan fish. The lake was once part of a splake
stocking program and the odd splake is still caught on
occasion to this day. The East Basin of Loughborough Lake
is riddled with islands and shallow compared to the West
Basin. This portion is prime habitat for the bass,
northern pike and pan fish. The deep West Basin is the
prime habitate for lake trout and rainbow trout. As well
as northern pike and largemouth bass in the shallow Harper
Bay and northwest bay. Average depth of 14 meters,

Muskrat
Lake
Closest
Town: Cobden, Ontario

rainbow smelt that can reach 12 inches, but many of the
shallower bays teem with often-ignored jumbo perch and
hefty pumpkinseed and bluegill. Once conditions are safe,
anglers can drive on the ice at the public boat launch at
Cobden. The 8 1/2-mile-long lake follows Hwy. 17 - the
Trans-Canada - so other access is available at concession
roads such as the one to Coffreys Point and, at the north
end, the turnoff at Renfrew 13.
