An even grey lid over the water, with next to no ripple and pressure going nowhere. Whatever swims in Loxton Lake should be near the calm side of the wind. The useful hours run the day. Trust the forecast and stay out through the window. The autumn feed-up is on; baitfish areas are the key.

Within Parry Sound District, Ontario, you have Loxton Lake. The bank is 370 metres above sea level. With some 43 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. Shoreline length is close to 6.4 km, and each section fishes a little differently. Head to Powassan, 14 km away, for anything you forgot. The big place round here is Greater Sudbury, 149 km distant. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.
Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Across Parry Sound District, recorded fish include smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed, yellow perch, northern pike and rock bass. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Loxton Lake fishes better once you know its edges.
July runs about 18°C on average, January about -12°C. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. Winter locks it down, and late April brings it back. In an average year the thaw lands around late April and the freeze near late November. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. Plan any trip to Loxton Lake around it.
Access status is simply unknown for this water. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Failing this one, try Osborne Lake, 2.2 km away. Treat Loxton Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
