Ispuchaw Lake
Ispuchaw Lake is a small (387 acre) popular, recreational and fishing lake within Narrow Hills Provincial Park. The name "Ispuchaw" is of Cree origin and means "the land is high".
The lake is located 46km ENE of the Resort Village of Candle Lake and 109km NE of Prince Albert. It is accessible down a sand road off of the Hanson Lake Road (Highway 106).
There is a campground and primitive boat launch at the lake. The campground has outhouses, garbage cans, and a fish cleaning station.
Ispuchaw Lake is very close to Zeden Lake, and the St. John Bosco Camp extends to the west shore of Ispuchaw. There is a very nice trail along the shoreline from the boat launch, to the edge of St. John Bosco Camp. It's not long, and a fairly easy walk, but very pretty. One of my favourite little hikes in the park.
There are trails from the campground heading the other way around the lake as well.
This lake has been personally visited by myself, Matthew Siemens.
