LAKE TROUT STOCKING PROJECT SANTOY LAKE By: G.K. Johnston Conservation Officer Santoy Lake is located approximately 13 miles, east of Terrace Bay and approximately 3 miles north of Highway 17 via the Santoy Lake Road which leads to an access point at the south end of the lake. At one time this lake was called Mountain Lake, a very appropriate name. This long nar --row body of water is bordered by high pre- cipitoeus rock formations except at the north end where the Steel River has formed a large delta. The Steel River flows out of Santoy Lake at the southeast end from where it drains into Lake Superior. Santoy Lake is about seven miles long. It has a surface area of 2,456 acres with a total shoreline perimeter of 16.4 miles. The maximum depth is 318 feet and the overall mean depth is 148 feet. Most fishermen who visit this lake for the first time would probably expect to find lake trout, but this is not the case. The fish species present are pickerel, pike, whitefish These species are only caught in limited numbers.
