Wabatongushi means white sand or claws in the white sand in Ojibway. So literally Lake Wabatongushi means White Sand Lake. Although most of the lake is rocky, there are a number of very nice beaches, with good swimming and the possibility of coming across an occasional arrowhead or artifact washed from the sand.

Lake Wabatongushi is completely inside the Chapleau Game Preserve, which covers over 3,000 square miles (7000 square kilometers), and is considered the largest wildlife sanctuary in the world.

There are ample opportunities to watch wildlife such as Moose, Black Bear, Loons and Bald Eagles.

Wabatongushi Lake is a relatively shallow lake for Northern Ontario with an average depth of 17'. There is an abundance of different structure such as rocky reefs, sandbars and weed beds allowing easy fishing for Walleye, Northern Pike and Perch
