Shell Lake

Shell Lake is a small recreational and fishing lake just 12km NE of the Resort Village of Chitek Lake. The lake is accessible from Highway 945 (Gravel).

This beautiful lake is in a heavily forested and quiet part of the province! You'll find Northern Pike and Yellow Perch in the lake.

Shell Lake Recreation Site (often called Little Shell Recreation Site) is adjacent to Shell Lake and has a campground, boat launch with a dock, outhouses and a fish-filleting station. The campground here is beautiful, with many trees and some lakefront campsites.

Timberlost Outfitting has a lodge on the south end of the lake and offers hunting/fishing excursions.

The main inflow to Shell Lake is from Lac Huard to the south. Tea Creek flows out of the north end of Shell Lake, eventually running into the north end of Green Lake.

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

I fished and camped here quite a few years ago. My visit yesterday reminded me of how much I like this lake. It is on my short list for a soon to be return trip to this lovely campsite.

This lake was a really nice surprise! The rec. site has a beautiful campground, with several lake front sites and a decent boat launch. I plan to come back and camp in the future!
