Nipekamew Lake[1] is a lake in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The lake is north-east of Clarence-Steepbank Lakes Provincial Park and north-west of Narrow Hills Provincial Park and the Cub Hills.[2] It is a long and narrow lake that runs in a north to south direction and is surrounded by boreal forest, rolling hills, and muskeg.[3] The outflow, Nipekamew River, is at the northern end of the lake and at the southern end of the lake, neighbouring East Trout Lake flows directly into it through a short channel. Several other smaller rivers, such as Nipekamew Creek, also flow into the lake.[4][5] The lake is part of the Churchill River watershed, which flows into the Hudson Bay.
Nipekamew Lake is in the Northern Saskatchewan Administration District and is accessed from Highways 912 and 927. Highway 912 runs up along the eastern shore and Highway 927 goes to the southern end of the lake and heads west to East Trout Lake and services the resorts in the area.
