Tramping Lake [2] is a lake in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It is along the course of Eagle Creek in the West Central part of Saskatchewan. It runs in a north to south direction along Eagle Creek Valley. Upstream is Eaglehill Lake (the source of Eagle Creek) and downstream is the man-made Opuntia Lake. At the northern end of the lake on a tributary of Eagle Creek is Scott Dam, which impounds Scott Reservoir. Both Opuntia Lake and Scott Reservoir are owned and operated by the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency. [3] The lake acts as the eastern boundary for the RMs of Tramping Lake No. 380 and Mariposa No. 350 and the western boundary for the RMs of Reford No. 379, Grandview No. 349. [4]
