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.

Porcupine Hills Provincial Park

Porcupine Hills Provincial Park is Saskatchewan's newest provincial park. It was created in 2018 by combining several existing Provincial Recreation Sites as well as Saginas Lake from Hudson Bay Regional Park.

The park is in a remote area of the province with very limit cell reception and few services. The park is split into two blocks an East and West block with quite a distance between them.

Many of the lakes have boat launches and are popular fishing destinations. There are also several campgrounds and a lodge within the park. McBride Lake has the only private campground in the park and is worth a visit! There are provincial campgrounds at Parr Hill Lake, Townsend Lake, Smallfish Lake, and Isbister Lake. Moose Range Lodge is at Townsend Lake and has rental cabins and other services.
