Emma Lake

Emma Lake is a top-rated recreational lake located 12km NW of the Resort Village of Christopher Lake and 46km NNW of Prince Albert. This is one of the most popular recreational lakes in the province, with a very popular campground, boat launches and beaches, and many cabin developments and communities around the lake.

Emma Lake is actually three different connected lakes, with quite a few islands, bays and coves. The two southern lakes have the most development with a large number of cabins and communities. Neis Beach, Guise Beach, Sunnyside Beach and the community of Emma Lake are all on the southern lake.

The northern lake and part of the middle lake are surrounded by Great Blue Heron Provincial Park.

The lake is accessible from Highways 953, 952, and 263.

Emma lake was named by Christopher Gravel after his sister Emma. Christopher was an employee of Dominion Land Survey. He also named Christopher Lake after himself and Oscar Lake after his brother.

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