Camsell Portage
Camsell Portage is a northern settlement of 37 people,[1] located on the north-central shore of Lake Athabasca. The northern settlement is an unincorporated community in the Northern Saskatchewan Administration District.
Camsell is one of the few remaining fly-in communities served by the school division. In the winter, residents can travel to Uranium City by ski-doo, and there is also a road connecting Camsell Portage to the community of Waterloo Lake. The school closed on June 26, 2007 due to low enrollment. Despite its remote location, Camsell Portage has satellite TV and high speed internet services.
Camsell Portage is about 14 km west of the Waterloo Lake camp and 36 km west of Uranium City by air.
The Athabasca System Hydroelectric Stations operated by SaskPower east of the community include the Charlot River Dam and Power Station, the Waterloo Dam and Power Station and the Wellington Dam and Power Station.
