Katepwa is a resort village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan, located within Census Division No. 6. It sits on the eastern and southern shores of Katepwa Lake, within the Rural Municipality of Abernethy No. 186. The village takes its name from the lake, which is the last in a chain of four lakes in the area.
The name Katepwa likely comes from the Cree word Kahtapwao, meaning “What is calling?” Legend has it that spirits inhabited the shores of Katepwa Lake, and First Nation people would hear voices calling out from the water. This evocative name has been tied to the lake and the community ever since.
