Where is Jake Lake? I found Phillip, Paull, Glenn, and Simeon.

Jake is about 4 lakes NW of Leano - SE entry to the park SW of the town of Red Lake.  I wish I still had those maps but I don't.

Four lakes is just about right ... from Leano you pass through Bunny, East Lunch, Lunch, then Jake.  Draw a line from the larger part of Glenn to Bunny.  Jake is just about at the mid-point of that line.  Jake is long and skinny, running from NE to SW.

Another question....Does anyone know anything about the Eagle Snowshoe Conservation Area and the EP  through Bird River....southwest side. For years I have heard good things about the Haggart River area in WCPP. Road information....etc. The Leano gig is interesting but seem like more often than not most use that put in....about half of the users right (400 of the 800 to 900/yr). I dont want to do a fly in, to TW. That leaves driving and paddling....can pull permitting via the net or with a phone call.  Smiley in advance so Red Lake pre-trip destination is not necessary. Anyone interested in an overlapping loop with a rendezvous to sort out the pick and drop logistics? Thinking of end of June to early July for a window-want to try and catch the Cypripedium acaule bloom.

The fast way to Haggart is to use the Wanipigow River from Wallace Lake in Manitoba. Enter Woodland Caribou at Crystal and use the portage or the stream to Broken Arrow. From there you have a lot of options for loop trips of different durations. Check out the Wanipigow stories on canoestories.com for the fine details.
