Jumping Lake
Jumping Lake is a large fishing lake located 15km S of Birch Hills and 43km SSE of Prince Albert.
This is not the prettiest lake, but it is used for hunting and fishing as well as a stopping point for migrating geese and ducks.
There was once a beach and recreational facilities at the lake, but they were abandoned many years ago. There is not much at the lake today besides primitive lake access/launch. The now abandoned hamlet of Waitville is on the eastern shore of the lake, but not much remains now.
Although the lake is subject to occasional winter-kill it is still periodically stocked with Walleye.
This lake has been personally visited by myself, Matthew Siemens.

About the photo
Boat launch might be generous, but it would be possible to launch a canoe/kayak or a boat you could carry here.
Bathymetric (Depth) Charts for Jumping Lake
Old Provincial Bathy Charts
These maps were produced by the government a long time ago, using primitive methods. They are not intended for navigation and should not be expected to be accurate.
Jumping Lake Boat Launch
Very primitive lake access. It looked like someone had backed in a trailer when I was there, but more practical for a canoe/kayak or a boat you can carry to the water.
