Humboldt Lake

(Stoney 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.

Decent sized lake with quite a few houses on it near Humboldt. Not much for public access to the lake itself.

🎣 2 catches – Northern Pike (7lb), Walleye (4lb)

Humboldt Lake had a total fish kill in 2020 due to extremely low oxygen levels. Humboldt Lake will not be restocked with fish until the oxygen levels improve. This is not likely to happen due to the severe hyper eutrophic condition of this lake. The City of Humboldt drains their treated effluent into this very shallow lake. This has resulted in severe algae blooms including blue green algae. The severe algae blooms, which have occurred for many years, negatively impact the oxygen levels.
