About this lake
Wallace Lake sits 19 km east of Bissett at the last drive-to entry into the Atikaki wilderness, with the lake itself in South Atikaki Provincial Park and a provincial park plus lodge on its southwestern shore. The lodge advertises abundant walleye and northern pike with perch, while the province notes yellow perch, northern pike and tullibee as regular catches. Wallace Lake Lodge runs the main lodge plus fly-in outposts to Obukowin, Carroll and Craven lakes and the Gammon River.
