Drope Lake
Drope Lake is a medium-sized (1,797 acre) lake in Lac La Ronge Provincial Park. The lake is a few km E of Stanley Mission and 64km ENE of La Ronge.
Drope Lake is part of the most popular canoe route from Stanley Mission to Nistowiak Falls with Frog Narrows connecting it to Nistowiak Lake. A portage with a cart and rollers connects Drope Lake and Mountain Lake. There are several different campsites around the lake. Many of these are well-used due to the lake's popularity.
There is an old abandoned uranium mine on the south end of the lake.
Walleye, Sauger, Northern Pike, Burbot and Yellow Perch can be found in Drope Lake.
The lake is named after Thomas Bruce Drope who was killed in WW1 and his grandson William John Drope who was killed in WW2.
