Steiestol Lake

Steiestol Lake is a tiny (35-acre) lake stocked with Rainbow Trout within Greenwater Lake Provincial Park. It is the highest lake in the area with an elevation of 2,025 feet.

The lake is just east of Greenwater Lake with a parking lot south of the highway. From the parking lot there is a trail into the lake.

Steiestol Lake is stocked yearly with Rainbow Trout, and is a popular angling destination in both summer and winter. In the winter there are groomed ski trails as well as snowmobile trails in the area. An aerator is present on the lake so be extra careful on the ice.

The lake was officially named in 1987 for Odd Jostein Steiestol who worked as a park ranger for Greenwater Provincial Park for 32 years. He also trapped in the area and Steiestol Lake was part of his trapping lease.

This is a very cool and reasonably accessible lake and well worth the visit! When I was there in the fall of 2023 I saw two trumpeter swans on the lake!

SaskBorder has an interesting blog about winter camping at the lake.

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