Gillingham Lake

Gillingham Lake is a small (247 acre) lake located 43km S of Pelican Narrows. The lake is accessible from the Hanson Lake Road just west of the Jan Lake turn-off. There is a sign for the lake on the highway. Gillingham Lake is almost directly across the Highway from Winteringham Lake.

This is a very pretty, easily accessible lake in the shield. Great spot for paddle! Like many lakes close to the highway though, don't be surprised to find a lot of garbage.

Northern Pike and Yellow Perch can be found in the lake.

There is a road down to the lake with room for parking and access to the water for launching a small boat or paddlers.

There was a memorial plaque at the lake honouring Olaf Hanson the namesake of the Hanson Lake Road. The base is still there but the plaque is now missing.

Gillingham Lake was named after Charles Arthur Gillingham on 1951-06-07 as part of the GeoMemorial Commemorative Naming Program run by the Sask Government.

This lake has been personally visited by myself, Matthew Siemens.
