DuckLake was the scene of the battle that launched the North-West Rebellion of 1885.

Duck is a rather small, very shallow lake at the head of Duck Creek in the Portage River drainage, 24½ miles southeast of Crane Lake and 15 miles northwest of Ely.
Duck Creek originates at the southeast end of the lake, beginning its nearly 5 mile run west and then north, to join the Portage River.
Duck, sitting as it does between Big and Big Moose, provides the only connecting route between the cluster of lakes between Big Lake and Burntside and the remainder of this region, even if it is not a particularly easy link.
