About Gowganda Lake

Gowganda Lake has long been known as a productive lake, its name an Ojibway word meaning “place of large pickerel.”

One of the largest lakes in the area, Gowganda is Z-shaped and features 60 km of shoreline. The lake’s bottom structure — consisting of several basins with an average depth of nine metres — makes the lake productive for a variety of species, including walleye, pike, perch, lake trout, bass and, to a lesser degree, whitefish. A rocky shoreline, shoals, drop-offs, weed beds and submerged islands also favour Gowganda a great angling destination.

Montreal River, a great stream to fish for the pike and bass that lurk amid submerged logs, feeds into the lake from the southeast. You can catch walleye and pike early in the season here. Bass season begins as soon as the ice is gone.

According to reports on The Angler’s Atlas, there is a hot spot for walleye in the lower curve of the lake. Check out all the map markers and add your own, too, at anglersatlas.com/lake/102244. Now you can even post while you’re fishing using our new mobile app! It’s free for iOS and Android.

LAKE ACCESS

Gowganda Lake is located along Hwy. 560 west of Elk Lake adjacent to the small village of Gowganda, which lies at the northeast end of the lake.
