Location of Amisk Lake on the fur trade route from Lake Winnipeg to Lake Athabasca

Amisk Lake[3] is a lake in the east-central part of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan, about 22 kilometres (14 mi) south-west of Flin Flon, Manitoba. 'Amisk' means beaver in Cree.[1] Along the lake's shores is the community of Denare Beach, a provincial recreation site with lake access and camping, and prehistoric limestone crevices.[4][5] Access to the lake and its amenities is from Highway 167. Amisk Lake was on an important fur trade route in the 18th century.
