Top Lake
Search this page
Top Lake is a small fishing and recreational lake located 16km NE of Big River and just across the highway from Zig Zag Bay on Delaronde Lake.
It's a fairly narrow crooked lake with a number of bays and small islands which makes it a really fun little lake for paddling on!
There is a recreation site with a boat launch but no other services on the lake. The lake has Northern Pike, Walleye and Yellow Perch. It was stocked with Walleye in the past, but hasn't been stocked recently.
The lake is not far off the highway, but the road had some pretty deep ruts when I visited (May, 2025).
