Description
Juno is a long, narrow, and relatively
shallow lake, to the south of, and parallel to, the west end of big Brule
Lake in the southeastern corner of the BWCAW. (Despite its close
proximity to Brule, Juno lies in the watershed of the Temperance River,
not the Brule). Over 3 miles long, most of its 248 acres are less
than 15' in depth, with a 23' maximum. A 60 rod portage out of the
northeast end connects with Brule while at the opposite end of the lake,
a 65 rod carry leads into Vern. Along its
southern shore, Squire Creek drops in from Squire and Whip lakes to the
south. Campsites
Juno supports three established campsites,
broadly spaced along the northern shore. Planning Considerations
Juno, along with neighboring Vern,
provides the link between Brule in the north and the Homer/Pipe
lakes down along the southern edge of the BWCAW as well as the Temperance
River country to the west by way of the Vern River. Wildlife
Juno supports populations of Northern
Pike (Esox lucius), Walleye
(Stizostedion vitreum),
White Sucker (Catostomus
commersoni), and Yellow Perch (Perca
flavescens).
Notes and Comments
Consider bushwhacking into Squire and/or
Whip if you have extra time on Juno. They're just up Squire Creek.
