Piprell Lake

Piprell Lake is a small (330 acre) stocked trout lake located 46km NNE of the Resort Village of Candle Lake and 115km NNE of Prince Albert.

The lake is a very popular fishing destination with four different kinds of stocked trout found in the lake. (Brown, Rainbow, Tiger, and Splake) Many other fishing lakes can be found within a short distance of Piprell Lake. Clarence-Steepbank Provincial Park is just north and Narrow Hills Provincial Park is just east of the lake.

There are also many ATV and snowmobile trails in the area.

Piprell Lake Recreation Site is a leased recreation site at the north end of the lake. The recreation site has a boat launch, camping, a store with gas, and showers. Rainbow Lodge is surrounded by the recreation site and has a chalet and rental cabins.

There is no cell-service in this part of the province, and the store at the recreation site is one of the only places you can find a payphone in the area.

Piprell Lake was named after Gordon Leslie Piprell in 1952 as part of the GeoMemorial Commemorative Naming Program run by the Sask Government.
