Wolf lake is if not the worst one of the worst lakes i know of for flood water, thin spots, and springs. A number of people have drowned skidooing and canoeing on that lake over the years. One part of the lake goes from 160 feet deep to 15 in no time. Many of us locals (North of 55ers) won't drive on the east side of the lake with even with a sled unless we have to help someone.
This may be off topic but I have a crazy story you can believe or not. My Dad's cousin found a foot in a sock on the beach there nearly thirty years ago. They figured it was either from a man who had capsized a canoe there one fall, or a couple of skidooers that had disappeared on the lake.
We met one drowning victim's daughter at the dock one summer. She said she never knew her father because he had drown a few month's after her mother and him had divorced when she was just a baby. Her mother had just assumed he had ditched them and wanted nothing to do with either of them but she learnt sometime not long before we had met her that he had actually drown there. Her and her husband were there looking for a memorial that had been erected on the side of the lake. I had seen it once as a kid but couldn't find it with them that day at the lake.
