Description
Glimmer is a small, relatively shallow
lake in the Clark Creek drainage of the Vermilion basin, 30 miles southeast
of Crane Lake and 11¾ miles northwest of Ely. Only a quarter
mile across, Glimmer sits just to the north of, and some 28' above, the
northern shore of Clark. While the maps show
no portage, the presence of a campsite on Glimmer, coupled with its close
proximity to Clark, suggest that a short, steep, trail may be found there.
Though Glimmer itself was not damaged by the 4th of July storms of 1999,
the area south toward the BWCAW border did suffer tree loss estimated
in the 10% to 33% range.
Campsites
Glimmer supports a single established
campsite, along its southeastern shore.
Planning Considerations
Glimmer 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 Battle,
Boulder, Clark, Hassel,
Meat, Phantom, Saca,
and Sprite.
