That's nice. 110 miles of shoreline. I guess that is what you Americans call a big lake. And it is entirely man made.

Lake Nipigon has 648 miles of shoreline. Few people ever boat on it. It has cliffs on the shore 800 or more feet high in places. It is only a few miles off one of Canada's national connecting highways, 11.

Lake Temagami has about the 2983 miles of shoreline It is reputed to have 50,000 Islands.

Lake Superior has differing amounts depending on the source of data, one says 2725 miles and another says that many kilometres of shoreline..

BTW Superior has enough water to cover North South and Central America with water 1 foot deep.

We do share Lake of the Woods with you 'Murikans. It has some length of shoreline and tens of thousands of islands. I guarantee you it is the easiest lake to get lost on in the natural world.
