Chernoff Lake sits tucked into a peaceful forest, surrounded by wetlands typical of the Duck Mountain plateau. It’s not a major developed destination like Madge or East Blue Lake. The surrounding forests are made up of aspen, balsam fir, white spruce, and birch, and the waters are quiet, green, and great for wildlife viewing. Keep an eye out for ducks, loons, dragonflies, moose, and beavers and their lodges.
