Description
Battle is a small, relatively shallow
lake in the Phantom Creek drainage of the Vermilion basin, 29 miles southeast
of Crane Lake and 12¾ miles WNW of Ely. Oriented in a north/south
direction, the lake is ¾ mile long and up to ¼ mile across,
its 74 acres having a maximum depth of 24', though some 90% of Battle is
in the shallow littoral zone
(less than 15' deep). The lake has a measured water clarity (Sechi
disk) of 6'.
The Battle Lake area was not significantly affected by the Independence
Day windstorms of 1999.
Campsites
Battle supports one established campsite,
on a point in the north end.
Planning Considerations
Battle is part of a group of small, interconnected
lakes clustered near the southern boundary of the BWCAW, just to the southwest
of Crab. Other lakes in the group are Boulder,
Clark, Glimmer, Hassel,
Meat, Phantom, Saca,
and Sprite.
Wildlife
Battle supports populations of Bluegill
(Lepomis macrochirus),
Largemouth Bass (Micropterus
salmoides), Northern Pike (Esox
lucius), Walleye (Stizostedion
vitreum), and White Sucker (Catostomus
commersoni).
