Lower Fishing Lake
Lower Fishing Lake is a very popular recreational and fishing lake in Narrow Hills Provincial Park. The lake is located about 115km north of Prince Albert. Access is off the Hanson Lake Road with pavement most of the way, except for the last few kilometres.
The park office for the Provincial Park is located here, as well as most of the services provided by the park.
Unfortunately Lower Fishing Lake was hit pretty hard by the SHOE Fire during the summer of 2025. The fire base, community hall, and parts of the campground were burnt. The campground has been cleaned up and should be ready for campers again in 2026. It's going to look different, but this is still an awesome lake and park to explore.
There is a large provincial campground at the lake, a boat launch, cabins, playgrounds, and a very nice beach. This is a great family-friendly lake with lots to do. It is also just a short drive from dozens of other lakes offering endless fishing, paddling, and exploring opportunities.
Pine Ridge Resort with cabin rentals, seasonal RV sites, and a small store is located beside the campground.
A short drive from the campground is the Esker Trail, which gives you an incredible view and access to several different hiking trails.
This lake is an old favourite of mine, and well worth the visit!
