Lake of the Day

The lake of the day for October 17, 2024 is Jumping Lake.

Jumping Lake is a large fishing lake located 15km S of Birch Hills and 43km SSE of Prince Albert.

This is not the prettiest lake, but it is used for hunting and fishing as well as a stopping point for migrating geese and ducks.

There was once a beach and recreational facilities at the lake, but they were abandoned many years ago. There is not much at the lake today besides primitive lake access/launch. The now abandoned hamlet of Waitville is on the eastern shore of the lake, but not much remains now.

Although the lake is subject to occasional winter-kill it is still periodically stocked with Walleye.

Late September trip to Meadow Lake Provincial Park

I closed off September with a quick trip up to the Meadow Lake Provincial Park. I was able to sneak in on the last two days that the Greig Lake Campground was open. I haven't been to the park in years, and even then have only visited a handful of the many lakes that are available.
