Atton Lake

About

Atton Lake is a spring fed, closed basin lake on the western side of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The lake is north-east of the town of Cut Knife, south-east of Paynton, and directly east of Poundmaker Indian reserve in the RM of Cut Knife No. 439. The confluence of Cut Knife Creek and Battle River is to the north-west. Access to the lake and associated park is from Highway 40, east of Cut Knife. Atton Lake is a shallow lake at about only 5 metres (16 ft) deep. Directly to the east is another shallow Lake, Bushy Lake, and to the west is Wishtikan Lake. The area around the lake is well-treed. Along the southern shore of the lake is Atton's Lake Regional Park which has a campground, beach access, and golf course. Around the southern half of the lake is a cottage subdivision.
