In June and July 2004, a high-density lake sediment and water survey was carried out in the Upper Manitou Lake area, northwestern Ontario.

Lake sediment and/or water samples were collected at 1087 sites, for an average density of 1 sample per 1.9 km².

The data are published in Ontario Geological Survey Open File Report OFR6194 and Miscellaneous Release-Data, MRD206.

The data are also part of a compilation database, Lake Geochemistry of Ontario – 2019.
