Stark Lake
Search this page
Stark Lake is a tiny fishing lake partially within Porcupine Hills Provincial Park. The lake is 58km SE of Hudson Bay and directly west of Elbow Lake and north of Townsend Lake.
The lake is right up against highway 980 which provides access to the launch site. Stark Lake is connected to Elbow Lake by a creek that runs under the highway.
There are no services or amenities at the lake. A primitive launch gives access to the water for a small boat or paddler.
Northern Pike, Yellow Perch and White Sucker can be found in Stark Lake. An attempt was made to stock Stark Lake with trout in the 90's but it hasn't been stocked with trout since 1995.
Stark Lake was named after John G. Stark who homesteaded SE18-21-28-W2.
There are many other lakes in the area, with lots to explore in the provincial park!
