Sandy Lake

(Halkett Lake)

Sandy Lake is a large (2,510 acre) recreational lake in the Prince Albert National Park.

The lake is 24km WNW of Christopher Lake (Village) and 56km NNW of Prince Albert and is accessible from the scenic highway (#263)

There is a boat launch and beach at the lake. The beach has many day-use picnic sites and a covered picnic area. This is one of only a few lakes in the park that allow motors and is a popular boating destination and fishing destination. Walleye and Northern Pike can be found in the lake.

A large campground at the lake has some lakefront sites as well as walk-in tenting sites. The campground is self-registration and there is no potable water on-site.

A short trail from the end of the campground connects to the popular Elk hiking trail.

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

Looks like the storm blew a lot of debris up on the boat launch and beach. Hopefully it gets cleaned up for the weekend!
