Humboldt Lake
Humboldt Lake is a medium sized residential and recreational lake in southern Saskatchewan. It is located 6.7km S of Humboldt with access from Highway 20.
There is limited public access to the lake. There are quite a few private homes/cabins on the north side of the lake. Humboldt Lake Resort on the east side has a private boat launch and beach as well as many homes/cabins.
Humboldt Lake has a long historical history of stocking. It was first stocked with northern pike in 1924, and was even stocked with smallmouth bass in 1934. Most recently it was periodically stocked with walleye. The lake experienced a severe winter kill during the winter 2019/2020 and has not been stocked since.
The City of Humboldt discharges their treated effluent into the lake several times a year.
This lake has been personally visited by myself, Matthew Siemens.
