Description
Phantom is a small, very shallow lake
in the Phantom Creek drainage of the Vermilion basin, 29½ miles SSE
of Crane Lake and 12¾ miles WNW of Ely. Elongated in form and
just over ½ mile in length, Phantom's 52 acres have a maximum depth
of but 10', with a measured water clarity of 5'.
Phantom was relatively unscathed in the 4th of July storms of 1999, the
damage being limited to a small area of blowdown along the southeastern
shore.
Campsites
Phantom supports a single established
campsite, on the point extending from the eastern shore.
Planning Considerations
Phantom 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 include
Battle, Boulder, Clark,
Glimmer, Hassel, Meat,
Saca, and Sprite.
Wildlife
Phantom supports populations of Northern
Pike (Esox lucius), White
Sucker (Catostomus commersoni),
and Yellow Perch (Perca flavescens).
