Brightsand Lake
Brightsand Lake is a popular recreational lake (11,235 acres) located 65km SSW of Meadow Lake (City) and 25km E of St. Walburg. The lake is accessible from Highways 795 and 796.
Brightsand Lake Regional Park is located on the north end of the lake and features a golf course, restaurant, camping, beach, boat launch, trout pond and more. The Regional Park also has some of the best hiking trails I've ever seen in a Regional Park with some really well done interpretive signs.
There are several other communities on the lake including Crystal Bay-Sunset, Evergreen Beach, Mowrey Beach, and Lakeshore Estates.
Brightsand Lake is located in the southern fishing zone and Northern Pike, Cisco, Lake Whitefish, White Sucker and Yellow Perch can be found in the lake. A number of different species have been stocked over the years, most recently northern pike, but the lake hasn't been stocked since 2011.
There is also a stocked trout pond within the Regional Park. Nearby Turtle Lake is also a popular fishing destination.
