Map of the Area

Any maps and map views are for general information only. Do not rely on them for navigation or to determine legal boundaries.

Other Information

Lac la Biche Islands (PNT) was another PNT on the lake but this NA has since been incorporated into Sir Winston Churchill Provincial Park leaving just this one PNT.

The French word, la Biche means doe and the name is likely descriptive of the primary food source in the area, Elk. David Thompson established a wintering post here for the Northwest Company in 1798 and both the Hudson Bay and Northwest Company had trading posts on the lake. The Lac la Biche Mission opened in 1853 by Oblate missionaries. The town of Lac la Biche was reached by rail in 1914 [1, 2, 3].
