Steepbank Lake

Steepbank Lake is a small (370 acre) lake within Clarence-Steepbank Lakes Provincial Park.

The lake is 54km NNE of Candle Lake (Village) and 123km NNE of Prince Albert. Steepbank Lake is within a steep valley and resembles a coastal fjord which is where the name came from.

The nearest highway to the lake is Highway 927. An access road runs past many of the lakes in the provincial park but ends before it gets to Steepbank Lake. Along the access road, there is a bridge that is no longer maintained, although you can walk across it, it is unsafe for vehicles. From the bridge, you can walk into Steepbank Lake itself.

There is a sandy beach and two primitive campsites at the lake. This is a very pretty lake and well worth the effort to get too.

One of my favourite places to visit. Haven't had an opportunity to fish the lake but I have recently camped at the Campsite above the lake. Location is minimally maintained so come self contained.
