Cannington Lake,[1] also known as Cannington Lake Resort, is a hamlet within the Rural Municipality of Moose Mountain No. 63 in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan at the north-east corner of Cannington Lake. Listed as a designated place by Statistics Canada, the hamlet had a population of 0 in the Canada 2011 Census.[2][3]

The resort is on the north-eastern shore of the lake and has over 20 lots owned, with six occupied cabins. The 2016 Canada Census does not list a population for Cannington Lake, only for the RM of Moose Mountain, which was 492 in 2016.[4]

History

Cannington Lake was once a popular resort as the population would grow during the summer months. Until the 1980s, it was home to several campsites, barbecue areas, two boat launches, a beach, several rentable cabins, a miniature golf course, and other services. In the 1960s, Ed McCullough had wanted to build a ski hill north of the lake and had purchased the CPR railway station from the nearby town of Carlyle for the project. The movers got the railway station as far as Cannington then refused to move it up the hill, so the project was never completed. Over the years the lake water levels declined severely due to beaver damming, resulting in many of the residents moving their cabins away. Other nearby lakes, such as White Bear (Carlyle) Lake and Kenosee Lake have had similar issues with beaver dams. The lake levels have been on the rise in recent years due to beaver control measures.[5]
