Booster Lake is located in Nopiming Provincial Park in the province of Manitoba, Canada.
It is located inside the Canadian Shield, at an elevation of 320 meters (1,050 ft), approximately 56 miles (90 km) northeast of Lac Du Bonnet and sits about 5 miles (8.0 km) west from the Ontario border. Highway 315 runs north of the lake.
The lake is fed by several creeks, and is drained by Booster Creek into Bird Lake, the source of Bird River, a tributary of the Winnipeg River.
The Lake itself contains many portions that have been given unofficial names by the cottage owners including Jackfish Bay, Halfmoon and Pickrel Rock. An Island at Booster Lake was named in honour of Frank "The Mayor" Penzick who lived at his cabin on Booster Lake year round. There is a trail that connects Booster Lake with the nearby Flanders Lake
Booster Lake cottage owners take part in annual events such as garage sales, and an annual fishing derby with a reception hosted on the beach near the public boat launch
The Family of Winnipeg Radio Personality Al McLean of QX 104 owns a cottage at Booster Lake and Al frequently mentions this on his program.
The original road into the area was used for logging and mining. Years ago, they mined for gold, although that mine has been closed and dismantled. Active mining in the area is done around Bernic Lake by The Tanco Mining Company. The mine is an active producer of caesium, tantalum & spodumene.
