Woody Lake
Woody Lake is a small (307-acre) recreational lake in the East Block of Porcupine Hills Provincial Park. The lake is 62km SE of Hudson Bay and 150km NNE of Yorkton.
Access to the lake is from Highway 980 (gravel).
There is a boat launch on the north-east shore with outhouses and a fish filleting station. Northern Pike, Walleye, and Yellow Perch can all be found in the lake.
Inflow to the lake is from a short river that flows from Elbow Lake. Another short river from Townsend Lake provides another inflow. The water level on the lake is controlled by the Woody Lake Weir, which manages the outflow from Woody Lake to the Woody River.
The lakes are named after Henry Longton Lovering who homesteaded here in 1908.
