McCrea Lake
McCrea Lake is a medium-sized lake set deep in the boreal Canadian Shield of northern Saskatchewan, the kind of quiet, road-served wilderness that draws anglers and backcountry travellers rather than crowds. Roughly 1,401 acres spread across a 45-kilometre shoreline, it sits in the province's Northern fishing zone and rewards a self-sufficient visit with clean water, rugged point-and-inlet coastline and genuine solitude. The lake carries a commemorative name—honouring Maurice Phillippe McCrea through Saskatchewan's GeoMemorial Commemorative Naming Program—and a reputation built on its fishery: walleye, lake trout, northern pike and lake whitefish make it a worthwhile stop on a northern Saskatchewan fishing trip, with no developed resort or marina to interrupt the wild setting.
