Exner Lake

Exner Lake is a stocked trout lake located within the Makwa Lake Provincial Park. It was first stocked in 1992 and was last stocked in 2023 with 3,000 tiger trout Fingerlings. It is one of very few lakes in the province with tiger trout.

The lake is accessible by a gravel road from near the Mewasin Campground on Jumbo Lake.

Boats/Canoes cannot be left on the lake overnight, and no gas motors are allowed. Electric motors/paddles only. There is a large fishing dock located on the lake for shore fishing.

Rainbow Trout and Tiger Trout can be found in Exner Lake. Please note there is a custom limit for stocked trout on the lake.

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

Very pretty little trout pond. Short walk to get down to the dock. Saw a loon and an osprey.
