Location of Tapukok Lake in Manitoba

The area around the lake consists of rocky parallel ridges with poorly drained areas of muskeg and irregular stony shorelines due to intense glaciation.[2] The lake is situated on the well known "Mistik Creek Loop", a remote canoe route 80 kilometres (50 mi) in length which can be paddled in four days.[3][4]

Tapukok means 'seven' in Cree, as all of the fourteen lakes on Mistik Creek are named in numeric order in Cree.[1][5]
