From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Turtle Lake lies in Saskatchewan, Canada. The closest town is Livelong. The lake takes its name from a Cree legend about a giant denizen in the lake, and locals sometimes still tell stories of a monster of some sort in its waters (see Turtle Lake Monster). Turtle Lake is fairly long (about 21 km) while also narrow (about 5 km across). It has several species of fish, including Northern Pike (Jackfish), Walleye (Pickeral) and Whitefish. There are many species of land animals ranging from squirrels and skunks to deer, moose, and the occasional blackbear. The lake is dotted with several lakeside communities of cabin owners. Some of the cabins are for rent. There is also the Turtle Lake Lodge which has a store and rental cabins with some facilities (such as laundry, showers).
