Elbow Lake

Elbow Lake is a small recreational and fishing lake in the Woody River Block of Porcupine Hills Provincial Park. It is located 60km SE of Hudson Bay.

The only amenities in the lake that are part of the provincial park are a boat launch with a dock, and a fish filleting shack. The hamlet of Elbow Lake is also located on the north shore of the lake.

Access to both the hamlet and the boat launch is from Spirit Lake Rd which branches off of Highway 980 (gravel) and runs past the north end of Elbow Lake and ends at Spirit Lake.

Walleye, Northern Pike, and Yellow Perch are in the lake. Although it was regularly stocked with Walleye in the past, it hasn't been stocked since 2019.

Elbow Lake is connected by a short stream to Stark Lake on the other side of Highway 980.

The primary inflow is Midnight Creek which enters at the northwest corner of Elbow Lake. Another inflow to Elbow Lake is from a stream that flows from Spirit Lake. The outflow for the lake is a short river that flows from the south of Elbow Lake into Woody Lake.

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

Small rec site that consists of a dock and boat launch. Several loops of private cabins on the lake as well.
