	Lakes
		Balsam is located wthin the Kawartha Lakes chain, and is the "top" lake in the chain, from which waters flow both north (to Mitchell Lake) and south (to Cameron Lake).
		It is fed by Sturgeon Lake to the west, and the Pigeon River to the south, as well as the Bald Lake chain to the north-east.
		In the first half of the fishing season, walleyes are the primary target on this lake; however, in the latter half of the season, this lake receives very heavy muskie pressure, which peaks during the month of September, where muskie anglers outnumber all other anglers by up to 4 to 1.

	NPWRC :: Regional Landscape
		Similar to other sand lake plains in the State, much of the topography is a series of beach ridges and adjacent wet depressions, extending locally several miles inland.
		Near the present lake shore, the depressions are typically poorly drained and sometimes ponded.
		Long, Grand, and Grass Lakes have long, linear basins formed by glacial erosion of the underlying bedrock; the orientation of these lakes is similar to that of the drumlins in adjacent Sub-subsection VII.6.1.

	NPWRC :: Regional Landscape
		Small complexes of parallel beach ridges and swales occupy the sandy lake plain along Grand Traverse Bay and at Bowers Harbor; beach ridges are well drained, and the swales vary in drainage condition, from shallow ponds to shallow organic soils supporting swamp forest.
		Two of the long, narrow lakes, Torch and Elk, were bays of Lake Michigan until they were cut off by sand deposition during Nipissing time (Dorr and Eschman 1984).
		Although swamps and small lakes are found in depressions between many of the drumlins, some depressions are relatively well drained.

		Having crossed this lake [Sturgeon or Balsam] we passed a rapid and followed the course of the said river, downstream continually, some sixty-four leagues, to what is the entrance of the said lake of the Onondagas, and on our way we portaged around five rapids, some from four to five leagues in length.
