The lake is located in the Northern Saskatchewan Administration District, just south of the geographical centre of Saskatchewan in the Cub Hills.[3] It is west of the western boundary of Narrow Hills Provincial Park[4] and south-east of Clarence-Steepbank Lakes Provincial Park[5] Piprell Lake Recreation Site and Rainbow Lodge are situated at the northern end of the lake and its amenities are accessed from Highway 913.[6] [7] [8]

Piprell Lake Recreation Site

Piprell Lake Recreation Site [9] is a provincial recreation area at the northern end of Piprell Lake. The recreation site has a campground, playground, boat launch, central shower and washroom facility, and a grocery store. There is a picnic area and beach access for swimming. Nearby are trails for hiking and ATVing and in the winter, for snowmobiling.[10] [11]

Surrounded by the park is Rainbow Lodge. It has five modern, three to four-bedroom chalets with full plumbing and satellite TV, along with waterfront cabins for rent.[12]

The whole park is well treed and the lake is stocked with fish for angling in the summer and ice fishing in the winter.
