Ness Lakes

(Ness Lake)

Ness Lakes is a medium-sized (592 acre) recreational lake located 17km ENE of Big River and 104km NW of Prince Albert. It is actually 5 different interconnected lakes, with the largest lake most often being just called Ness Lake. Ness Lake itself is 247 acres.

The access to Ness Lake is off Nesslin Lake road, which branches from Highway 922.

Northern Pike, Walleye, and Yellow Perch can be found in the lake.

Ness Lake Recreation Site is adjacent to Ness Lake and is leased and managed by Li'l Douce Camping. The rec. site has seasonal campsites, a boat launch, and fish filleting facilities. There is a day-use fee for picnics and using the boat launch if you are not a registered camper. There are hiking trails in the rec. site as well as access from the rec. site to ATV trails (although no ATV's allowed in the rec. site). The campsites are all filled with seasonal campers during the summer, and I was told there was a waitlist for spots by one of the campers when I was there.

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

Interesting lake, pretty but very poorly signed. Private campground that is full of seasonal campers. There is an honesty box to pay for using the beach/boat-launch.
