Round Lake[1] is the last part of a chain of eutrophic prairie lakes connected by the Qu'Appelle River in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The lakes were formed by glaciation about 10,000 years ago.
The lake harbours recreational activities including camping, boating, and fishing. Cabins can be rented or bought along the shores of the lake. Camping is provided at Bird's Point Resort[2] and West End.[3] Other camps include Camp O'Neill[4] and Camp McKay.[5] Access to the lake is provided by Highway 247. Crooked Lake Provincial Park and Crooked Lake are west. A scenic viewpoint, located north of the lake and highway, provides a view of the lake.
Fish species found in round include walleye, yellow perch, northern pike, white sucker, longnose sucker, black bullhead, channel catfish, cisco, mooneye, bigmouth buffalo, burbot, common carp, and rock bass.[6] [7]
