Lake of the Prairies (Asessippi Provincial Park)

One of the premier walleye sport fisheries in North America, Lake of the Prairies, measuring 67 km (42 miles) from end to end, is a man-made lake, the result of the construction of the Shellmouth Dam on the Assiniboine River. The annual catch of walleye from this lake has been as much as five times the provincial average. You can also expect good perch and pike fishing here. Tackle and bait shops are plentiful. Ice fishing is popular here during the winter months.
