About this lake

A popular Whiteshell Provincial Park lake about 152 km east of Winnipeg on the Trans-Canada Highway. Manitoba's 2022 fisheries assessment found walleye dominant at 79% of the survey catch, with northern pike, smallmouth and largemouth bass, yellow perch and lake whitefish also present. The lake is also famous for the 1967 Falcon Lake Incident UFO sighting.
