Tapukok Lake is narrow glacial lake on the Mistik Creek chain above the Vamp Creek confluence. It is approximately 19 kilometres (12 mi) northeast of Bakers Narrows and is situated in the Hudson Bay drainage basin in the Northern Region of Manitoba, Canada. It is surrounded by the Churchill River Upland portion of the Midwestern Canadian Shield forests which consist of mixed deciduous and coniferous trees. The area around the lake consists of rocky parallel ridges with poorly drained areas of muskeg and irregular stony shorelines due to intense glaciation. The lake is situated on the well known "Mistik Creek Loop", a remote canoe route 80 kilometres (50 mi) in length which can be paddled in four days.
