Wakaw Lake

(wâkâw sâkahikan)

Wakaw Lake is a very popular recreational lake 70km south of Prince Albert and 100km NE of Saskatoon. Wakaw is located just west of the lake and offers all services.

The lake is a destination for camping, boating, fishing, golfing, and swimming. There are an incredible number of communities, resorts and campgrounds around the lake. There are around 800 cabins at Wakaw Lake and many year-round residents.

The town of Wakaw is located a short distance from the west end of the lake. The Resort Village of Wakaw Lake is on the south side.

Wakaw Lake Regional Park is located on the north side of the lake and has a large campground, a 9-hole golf course with a licensed restaurant, a boat launch and refuelling station, and a beautiful beach with day-use picnic facilities.

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

The lake is the source of the Carrot River. The name Wakaw is from the Cree word for "Crooked", referring to the shape of the lake.

Wakaw Lake is located conveniently close to both Saskatoon and Prince Albert and is a popular year-round destination with lots to do for everyone!

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

This is quite the lake. There are tons of different communities and developments. The regional park might be the best maintained I've seen in the province, with an amazing beach!
