Nesosap Lake is a glacial lake on the Mistik Creek chain, approximately 21km (13miles) northeast of Bakers Narrows. As a segment of the Mistik Creek, it is part of the Nelson River watershed, in the Hudson Bay drainage basin in the Northern Region of Manitoba, Canada.
The surrounding mixed deciduous and coniferous forest is part of the Churchill River Upland portion of the Midwestern Canadian Shield forests.[1] The region around the lake consists of rocky parallel ridges with poorly drained areas of muskeg and irregular stony shorelines due to intense glaciation.[2] The lake is situated on the well known "Mistik Creek Loop", a remote canoe route 80km (50miles) in length which can be paddled in four days.[3] [4]
The lake contains northern pike, lake whitefish, cisco, walleye, and yellow perch.[5]
Nesosap means 'twelve' in Cree, as all of the fourteen lakes on Mistik Creek are named in numeric order in Cree.[6] [7]
