Melville Town Reservoir

(Crescent Creek Reservoir)

Melville Town Reservoir is the water source for the City of Melville and is also used for fishing and recreation. Just a few km northwest of Melville it is a nice spot close to town for a picnic or fishing both in summer and winter.

There is a viewing platform (no fishing allowed), a fishing dock, a primitive boat launch, picnic tables and an outhouse. No gas motors are allowed on the lake. Only electric motors or paddlers are permitted.

Northern Pike, Walleye, and Yellow Perch can be found in the lake. Please note there is a custom limit for Perch. The lake has been stocked in the past with Walleye but not since 2016.

The reservoir is along the course of Crescent Creek.

History

The dam was originally built in 1921 by Canadian National Railway to create a reservoir. The city of Melville bought the reservoir in 1958 and a water treatment plant was built in 1959.

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