Paddling
Paddling Index methodology v1.0 · calculated 2026-09-16Berens Lake has a heavily wooded and largely undeveloped setting, notable open-water exposure, limited nearby major-road exposure.
Why this score?5 components
Included in the index
| Component | Rating | Points of weight | Measurement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Natural setting | Excellent | 35.3 of 35 | 99% natural land cover within 150 m of shore (89% forest, 9% wetland; 0% developed) |
| Geometric wind exposure | Mixed | 3.4 of 29 | mean fetch 3,416 m · 0% of sampled water within 500 m of shelter · long fetch in some directions |
| Motor & speed rules | Not modelled | — | Canada publishes vessel motor and speed restrictions as federal legal schedules, not map data, so they are not part of the Ontario index. Check local signage and Transport Canada rules before going out. |
| Public access | Good | 15.0 of 18 | 1 MNRF fishing access point · boat ramp |
| Road isolation | Very Good | 11.3 of 18 | limited nearby major-road exposure · 12 Ontario Road Network segments within 1.2 km (traffic estimated from road class, not measured) |
Additional paddling considerations
These describe the lake but are not part of the v1 Paddling Index and do not change the number above.
- Wake sensitivity
- Low — wide enough that wakes disperse over most of the lake
- Observed motorized activity
- Unknown — No lake-level measurement of boat traffic is available. Legal permission to operate motors is not evidence of use.
- Wildlife habitat potential
- High — 89% forest and 9% wetland cover within 150 m of shore
- Mapped wildlife habitat
- None mapped — Ontario MNRF has not mapped moose, deer or waterfowl habitat within 1 km of this lake. The province maps these areas where it has surveyed, so this is not evidence that wildlife is absent. · Ontario MNRF Wildlife Values Area.

Berens Lake — common questions
How deep is Berens Lake?
The deepest contour on the Ontario MNRF bathymetric survey of Berens Lake is 9.1 m (30 ft). That is the deepest depth the historical survey map records, which may differ from the deepest point of the lake itself.
How big is Berens Lake?
Berens Lake covers about 2,757 ha (6,812 acres) in Kenora District, Ontario.
Is there public access to Berens Lake?
The Ontario MNRF lists 1 fishing access point within 100 m of the shoreline of Berens Lake: 1 boat launch. Recorded ownership: 1 privately owned. The list includes municipal and privately owned sites, and some may charge a fee or restrict parking, so it confirms a place anglers use rather than a public right of way. Check locally before you go.
