About this lake
Booster Lake in Nopiming Provincial Park earned a provincial size-and-abundance profile for walleye, smallmouth bass and yellow perch based on 2011 and 2022 assessments. Anglers rate it for smallmouth, walleye and trophy northern pike without the crowds of the Whiteshell. It is a drive-to lake in the park's southern half.
