Isbister Lake

Isbister Lake is a small (260-acre) recreational lake in the east block of Porcupine Hills Provincal Park.

The lake is accessible from Highway 980 (gravel) and is located 54km SE of Hudson Bay.

There is a boat launch and dock at the lake, as well as a small campground. Northern Pike and Yellow Perch are found in the lake. There are several other nearby lakes in the park.

Isbister Lake was named after Archie Isbister in 1951 as part of the GeoMemorial Commemorative Naming Program run by the Sask Government.

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