Rib Lake is a smaller lake with one fishing resort on it. The lake offers good fishing with water as deep as 140 feet. Anglers target smallmouth bass, walleye, northern pike, lake trout and whitefish. Rib Lake is also located just to the west of the Cliff Lake Conservation Reserve.
Anglers that stay on Rib Lake can take a short boat ride on Rib Lake followed by a hike through the bush to get to Cliff Lake. This Conservation Reserve was created so people can enjoy this area for years to come. There are 2 campsites on Cliff Lake, one on Roosevelt Lake, one on Slim Lake, one on Fat Lake, 2 on Rib Lake and one on Friday Lake. None of these campsites are maintained and they do not have latrines.
Cliff Lake is part of several canoe routes. Portage trails are available for the canoeists and they run from Rib Lake to Cliff Lake to Fat Lake and beyond.
