Jumping Lake
Search this page
Jumping Lake is a large fishing lake located 15km S of Birch Hills and 43km SSE of Prince Albert.
This is not the prettiest lake, but it is used for hunting and fishing as well as a stopping point for migrating geese and ducks.
There was once a beach and recreational facilities at the lake, but they were abandoned many years ago. There is not much at the lake today besides primitive lake access/launch. The now abandoned hamlet of Waitville is on the eastern shore of the lake, but not much remains now.
Although the lake is subject to occasional winter-kill it is still periodically stocked with Walleye.
