It is 55 kilometres west of downtown Sudbury. The lake is 705.1 hectares in size with a shoreline perimeter of 28.2 kilometres and a maximum depth of 43 metres.[2] HistoryAccording to the Fairbank Lake Camp Owner's Association, the lake was originally named Wa-Shai-Ma-Gog (Clear Lake) by the Ojibwa or Anishinaabe nation. They had settled on the south west corner of the lake and traded at a Hudson Bay trading post near Whitefish. The discovery of virgin white pine in 1872 resulted in lumbering activities on the south shore. The lake was officially named Fairbank Lake in 1883 after John Henry Fairbank, who was an MP for Lambton East.[3] IslandsFairbank lake contains 8 islands.
