Nesslin Lake

Nesslin Lake is a medium-sized recreational and fishing lake located 21km NE of Big River and 109km NW of Prince Albert.

The lake is accessible from Nesslin Lake Road which branches off Highway 922. The very popular Ness Creek Festival Site is located on the same road just a bit south of the lake.

The lake is very close to the western edge of the Prince Albert National Park. The entire lake except the far north end is located within the Nesslin Lake Provincial Recreation Site. The rec. site is privately leased and has a boat launch, beach, campground with rental yurts, and a store. The Hamlet of Nesslin Lake is surrounded by the Rec. Site and is the only community at the lake with quite a few private cabins.

Northern Pike, Walleye, Lake Whitefish and Burbot can be found in Nesslin Lake.

Nesslin Lake is very deep and was stocked with 100 Lake Trout in 1982. I've seen photos and heard reports of people catching pretty big Lake Trout in the past. I haven't heard or seen anyone reporting catching any trout at all for quite a few years now though!

Since 2019 the water on Nesslin Lake has been significantly higher than in the past due to the removal of a beaver dam during road construction north of the lake. This has resulted in a change to the clarity of the water in the lake, as well as flooding of some of the lake's amenities and a shrinking of the beach.

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