Spirit Lake

Spirit Lake is a medium-sized (832 acre) recreational lake located in the Woody River Block of Porcupine Hills Provincial Park.

The lake is 59km SE of Hudson Bay and is accessible from Spirit Lake Road which branches off Highway 980 and runs past the cabins at Elbow Lake.

Spirit Lake is a bifurcation lake and has two outlets. The southern end of the lake drains into Elbow Lake while the main outlet is from the north which runs into Island Lake.

At the south end of the lake is a small campground with seven non-electric sites. There is a boat launch, picnic area, fish cleaning station and a short section of sandy shoreline. A rough ATV trail begins at the campground and leads to Armit Lake which is almost entirely in Manitoba.

Walleye, Northern Pike, and Yellow Perch can be found in the lake.

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