Amisk Lake is a lake located in central Alberta about 175 km (109 mi) northeast of the City of Edmonton and 15 km (9.3 mi) east of the village of Boyle.
History
In the 1940s a Mink farm and resort with boat and cabin rentals were established on the northwest shore of the lake. Later it was replaced with two subdivisions and a trailer park which was built at the north end of the lake. However a majority of the shoreline remains undeveloped.[1]
