Lake Hanson

Pierre Creek enters Lake Hanson in Hanson County from the east and leaves at a spillway at the western end. Lake Hanson is a small reservoir. Being less popular with tourists makes it the perfect place to unwind. On its northern side is Lake Hanson Recreation Area, where you can engage in aquatic activities. Here is a beach where you can unwind in the sunlight. You may have a calm kayak journey thanks to two launching ramps on the north and western edges. Binoculars are a must-have item if you want to see the many birds soaring over the area's undeveloped shorelines.

Because glaciers during the last ice age built the lake, it has an uneven shape and is filled with numerous bays, islands, and canals. It receives water from numerous rivers and tributaries that originate in the nearby hills, smaller lakes, and muskeg. The Sturgeon-Weir River, a tributary of the Saskatchewan River, is where Hanson Lake empties into a short river at the lake's eastern end.

There are no settlements on the lake; Flin Flon, to the east, is the closest city. A provincial recreation area is located on the western coast, and a mine is located on the southern shore. Access to the lake is through Hanson Lake Road.

Numerous fish species, such as bluegill, northern pike, largemouth bass, white crappie, and yellow perch, can be found in the lake.
