The Lonely Lake School District was established in March 1916 and a one-room schoolhouse operated at NE25-25-13W in the Rural Municipality of Alonsa. In 1967, the district was dissolved and its catchment area became part of the Turtle River School Division.
Among the teachers of Lonely Lake School was Metta Thorkelson Johnson (1942-1943).
