Perch, walleye, and northern pike are all common fish to be caught in both the summer and winter. In the summer, fishing is done off the western point, next to the beach, and from boats. In the winter, ice fishing is very popular. Golfing The Katepwa Beach Golf Course is a golf course with its roots in the Syndicate formed in the early 1900s. Early residents carved the first 18-hole course out of the hills shortly after establishing cottages on the lake. In the 1980s, use of the golf course had dropped so low that it was put up for sale. A group of golfers bought the land and reserved it for a golf course. In the mid-nineties, a new 9-hole course was built, which has gained international renown. The course is unique in that there is no fee to maintain membership; members need only pay for the rounds of golf they play. A simpler 9-hole, family-friendly course called Katepwa Family Nine Golf Course is also located in the area. Trails The Katepwa Nature Trail starts in the park and winds through the nearby coulees, with signs along the way explaining flora and fauna that can be found in the area. The historic Fort Ellice-Fort Qu'Appelle Trail begins at the end of Lake Katepwa and is a day-long driving trip through to Crooked Lake. Bird-watching in Skinners Marsh and a visit to the Fort Ellice Historical Site are possible activities along the way. Churches The All Saints’ Anglican Church Katepwe was built in 1886 on the south-eastern shore of the lake, in a small settlement then known as Lauder's Town. John Lauder, the owner of the townsite, donated the land. Construction started in July 1886 with the hauling of stones from nearby fields, to be used for the foundation. The main structure is wood and concrete. The church was not fully completed until after its consecration on August 21, 1887. Although the church was not completed until 1887, the members of its congregation held Anglican services in local homes and the schoolhouse as early as 1884, and this is considered the year of origin for All Saints’ Anglican Church Katepwe. The graveyard beside the church is the final resting place of many original settlers. Regular services ceased in 1945 and the church was only used in July and August. By the 1960s, the building was in poor condition and leaning
