Big Sandy Lake
Big Sandy Lake is a massive lake located 106km NE of the Resort Village of Candle Lake. The lake is accessible from a service road off the Hanson Lake Road.
There is an outfitter and a leased provincial rec. site on the north end of the lake. There are 13 campsites at the rec. site and the outfitter has rental cabins. The rec. site also has an outhouse, a paid, primitive boat launch, and a beach.
You can find Walleye, Northern Pike, Yellow Perch, and Whitefish in Big Sandy Lake. A small number of Walleye were stocked in the lake in 2009 and 2010 but nothing recently. Please note there is a custom limit of 1 Walleye on Big Sandy Lake
There are a few creeks and rivers that flow into Big Sandy Lake. Ballantyne River flows out of the eastern end of Big Sandy Lake into Deschambault Lake.
This lake has been personally visited by myself, Matthew Siemens.
