Christopher Lake

Christopher Lake is a popular recreation lake located 40km NNW of Prince Albert. The lake has parks, campgrounds, camps, marinas, beaches, boat launches, and hiking trails to explore.

The Resort Village of Christopher Lake is just SE of the lake and has most services including gas, restaurant, liquor, library and groceries. The northernmost tip of Christopher lake is within Blue Heron Provincial Park although no park services/facilities exist there. The provincial park office is within the Resort Village of Christopher Lake though.

The lake is accessible from Highways 953 and 263.

There are several other popular recreational lakes nearby including Emma Lake just west of Christopther and Anglin Lake half way between Christopher and Waskesiu.

This lake has been personally visited by myself, Matthew Siemens.
