Wakaw Lake is a lake near Wakaw, Saskatchewan, Canada. It is located within a 1-hour drive to the north-east of the city of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan (102 kilometres), and 73 kilometres to the south of the city of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.[1] It takes its name from a Cree word meaning "crooked."
There are currently about 800 cabins located on the lake, some of which are winterised and occupied year-round. Some of these cabins have permanent boat houses, but a bylaw has been issued that no more boat houses are to be built. Some cabin-owners are getting around this by rigging up temporary coveralls.
In general, the bottom of the lake is muddy, shallow and covered in seaweed, but there are a few areas where a deep, rocky bottom is found.
