Little Manitou Lake
Salt lake in Saskatchewan, Canada
Little Manitou Lake is a small salt lake about 120 kilometres (75 mi) south-east of Saskatoon in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The lake was formed by receding glaciers during the most recent ice age. It is fed by underground springs and has a mineral content high in sodium, magnesium, and potassium salts[4] due to it being a terminal lake. The salt content of the water (180 g/L)[3] gives it a salinity about half of that of the Dead Sea (300-400 ppt), allowing bathers to float easily.
The lake falls within the Lanigan-Manitou Sub-basin of the Upper Qu'Appelle watershed.[5]
There is no fishing as the high salt content of the water supports little other than brine shrimp.
