Range
From a zoogeographical perspective, lake trout are quite rare. They are native only to the northern parts of North America, principally Canada, but also Alaska and, to some extent, the northeastern United States. Lake trout have been introduced into many other parts of the world, mainly Europe, but also into South America and certain parts of Asia. About 25% of the world's lake trout lakes are found in the province of Ontario, Canada. Even at that, only 1% of Ontario's lakes contain lake trout. Labrador also has a large population of lake trout.

Famous quotes containing the word range:
“The ideal of the self-sufficient American family is a myth, dangerous because most families, especially affluent families, do in fact make use of a range of services to survive. Families needing one or another kind of help are not morally deficient; most families do need assistance at one time or another.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
“but we wish the river had another shore,
some further range of delectable mountains,”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
“For generations, a wide range of shooting in Northern Ireland has provided all sections of the population with a pastime which ... has occupied a great deal of leisure time. Unlike many other countries, the outstanding characteristic of the sport has been that it was not confined to any one class.”
—Northern Irish Tourist Board. quoted in New Statesman (London, Aug. 29, 1969)
