About: Upper Fishing Lake

Upper Fishing Lake is a lake in the east-central part of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan in Narrow Hills Provincial Park. It is situated in a glacier-formed valley in the Cub Hills and the boreal forest ecozone of Canada. It is located north-west of the larger Lower Fishing Lake along the course of Caribou Creek and is accessed from the Hanson Lake Road. Caribou Creek, and the lake's other inflow, a river that flows south from Stickley Lake, flow into the lake at its north-western point. Caribou Creek flows out of the lake at its south-eastern point. The Fishing Lakes Fire of 1977 burned much of the region upstream and around the lake. As a result, the area is now dominated by jack pine, which is a tree species that is well adapted fire burned forests.
