The lake of the day for July 26, 2024 is Candle Lake.

Candle Lake is one of the most popular recreational destinations in the province.

The lake draws huge crowds in the summer to the water and community. In the winter it's a popular destination for snowmobiling and ice-fishing.

The lake is a massive 32,616 acres and is 72km N of Prince Albert.

The Resort Village of Candle Lake boasts a very significant summertime population and offers many services including a clinic, bank, restaurants, ice-cream shops, gas stations, and groceries. Most of the rest of the lake is within Candle Lake Provincial Park.

Stocked Waters in Saskatchewan

Hundreds of lakes, ponds, creeks and rivers are stocked every year across Saskatchewan. Nearly 7 million fish were released in 2022 alone through the fish stocking program. The program is a partnership between the Saskatchewan Fish Hatchery, the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation, and the Ministry of the Environment.

It's been a good start to the summer with a lot of progress on the site. I've made a number of technical improvements as well as added new features and new content. I also managed to do quite a few trips to new lakes. I've added hundreds of photos, lots of new lake attractions, and tons of new content to the site.

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.
