Wicksteed Lake near Marten River

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Wicksteed Lake near Marten River

Post by BassYakker »

Hi Everyone!
I'm looking for some information on Wicksteed Lake south of Marten River Provincial Park. I'm planning a summer trip there, taking a couple of young lads who have never camped or fished before. They've both had a tough time with a bully father. He's no longer in the picture and I just want to show them a good time and enjoy the wildlife on a secluded lake.
Can anyone tell me what the camping situation is like on this lake? Also, is the fishing decent? I wouldn't want them to get skunked!
Any and all information is gratefully received! Thanks in advance!

Big long shallow lake with one 20ft+ hole near the bottom of the lake. Looks like the best access would be from the Marten Lake rd and then at the bend hang a left and go up to the dam where it looks like there's some open area for camping. Google Earth shows the boat launch there as well.
Here's the Fish ON-line info, if you zoom in you get the actual landscape view. https://www.lioapplications.lrc.gov.on. ... cale=en-CA

Good luck with the lads. Looks like there's a few rocky islands that might be good for an evening Walleye fish.
