Dipper Lake is a large lake along the course of the Churchill River in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan.[1] The Churchill River is largely a series of interconnected lakes that begins at Churchill Lake in north-western Saskatchewan and empties into the Hudson Bay at Churchill, Manitoba. Upstream from Dipper Lake along the Churchill River is Shagwenaw Lake and downstream is Primeau Lake.[2] The lake is about 65 kilometres (40 mi) north-west of the community of Pinehouse and is surrounded by boreal forest in the Canadian Shield.[3]
Primeau Lake Indian reserve is situated at the eastern end of Dipper Lake on a peninsula that separates it from Primeau Lake. Dipper Rapids Indian reserve encompasses much of the western shore.[4] Also at the western end of Dipper Lake is Golden Wally Outfitters.[5]
Fish species
Fish species commonly found in Dipper Lake include walleye, northern pike, cisco, lake whitefish, and burbot.[6]
