Tobin Lake, lake in Saskatchewan, Canada
Tobin Lake is a large reservoir in Saskatchewan that stretches for over 70 kilometers and reaches about 15 kilometers across in some places. The water reaches a maximum depth of about 26 meters, and the shoreline extends for over a thousand kilometers with forests and wetlands surrounding the entire lake.
The lake was created in 1963 with the construction of the E. B. Campbell Dam on the Saskatchewan River. Since then, the dam has controlled water levels and flow, transforming the region into an important location for recreation and local life.
The name originates from a fur trading post in the area, connecting the lake to the region's early commercial history. This link to the past shapes how locals and visitors understand the place as a significant location in Saskatchewan's development.
The water is accessible from several entry points along the west, north, and southwest sides with parking and boat launches distributed throughout. Conditions are best during warmer months, especially spring, summer, and early fall, for water activities and outdoor recreation.
A world record for ice fishing walleye was set here with a catch weighing about 8 kilograms. This remarkable achievement shows why the lake is so well known among anglers and draws visitors each year hoping to achieve similar successful catches.
