Nemei Lake[1] is a glacial lake in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The lake is about 67 kilometres (42 mi) north-northwest of Creighton in the Northern Administration District. It is the source of the Nemei River, which is a tributary of the Churchill River.[2] Both McArthur Lake and the bifurcating Kakinagimak Lake flow into Nemei Lake from the south.[3]
There is no highway access to the lake. Access is by canoe following rivers and portages or from Flin Flon, Manitoba, via floatplane to a fly-in fishing lodge on an island in the lake.[4]
Fish species
Fish commonly found in Nemei Lake include lake whitefish, walleye, lake trout, and northern pike.[5]
