ELEPHANT LAKE,
Elephant Lake is located approximately 20-30 minutes northwest of Bancroft in Harcourt, Ontario. This lake of approximately 2186 acres in size and is part of the 36 mile, 3 lake chain of Benoir and Baptiste Lakes. Elephant Lake consists of approximately 22 miles of shoreline and is 1,157 feet above sea level. The maximum depth is about 23 feet with a mean depth of 6 feet. It is a large, picturesque shallow lake. There is very good fishing in this lake due to the shallow depth and amount of weeds.

Had good success fishing in Elephant Lake in the summar of 2019 – Smallmouth Bass, Pike and something that cut right through the line on the first bite.
Where can we find the accommodation availability and costs for Elephant Lake Lodge? Wanting to visit for 2-3 days with my brother. We spent time there many years ago and feel nostalgic about returning. Thank you.
I was there when I was a young lad…12ish, still have my 23.5″ 7.5lb smallmouth bass hanging on the wall for proof, and bragging rights! Loved going across the lake and jumping off the cliff into the water. Not sure at the age now of 47, I could muster up the nerve to do it again, but it’d be worth contemplating I suppose. Been thinking of revisiting my childhood, and bringing my family on vacation to this beautiful lake and surrounding area. From Pennsylvania, hope to visit again soon. Elephant Lake Lodge
are the cabins still available for rent?
This place looks amazing! It reminds me of my summers spent at Papineau Lake!
