Description
Ole is a small lake at the head of
Ole Creek, in the Korb River drainage, 29 miles southeast of Crane Lake
and 10¼ miles northwest of Ely. Having something of an exaggerated
kidney shape to it, Ole is just over ½ mile long with a maximum width,
in its northern and southern bays, of barely ¼ mile. Out of
the southwest corner of the lake, Ole Creek begins its 2 mile course to
the Korb River. There are no maintained portages into Ole Lake.
The Independence Day windstorms of 1999 caused little damage in the Ole
Lake area.
Campsites
Ole is not on any maintained route and
supports no established campsites.
Planning Considerations
Ole is on the way to nowhere, and unlikely
to be a destination in its own right, unless you're camped at Maxine,
or perhaps at Jig, and looking for a vigorous afternoon
of bushwhacking.
Wildlife
Notes and Comments
If you do get in to Ole send us a photo.
We'll publish it here. (It's the only way most BWCA paddlers will
get to see this lake.) |
