Piprell Lake[1] is a lake in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan in the boreal forest[2] ecozone of Canada. The lake is located in the Northern Saskatchewan Administration District, just south of the geographical centre of Saskatchewan in the Cub Hills.[3] It is west of the western boundary of Narrow Hills Provincial Park[4] and south-east of Clarence-Steepbank Lakes Provincial Park[5]
Piprell Lake Recreation Site and Rainbow Lodge are situated at the northern end of the lake and its amenities are accessed from Highway 913.[6][7][8] The lake was named after Gordon Leslie Piprell who was killed during World War II.
