Carroll Lake

Carroll Lake straddles the Manitoba-Ontario border (mostly in Ontario's Woodland Caribou Provincial Park, with Manitoba bays in Atikaki), stretching 20 km long on the Gammon River system. Wallace Lake Lodge flies anglers in for walleye, northern pike and perch in true backcountry solitude. MidWest Outdoors TV has filmed walleye episodes on the Manitoba side.
