Hanging Heart Lake

Hanging Heart Lake is a series of three small connected lakes withing Prince Albert National Park. The lakes are about 15km from the Waskesiu townsite. They offer great paddling, boating, and fishing. The lakes are the main route to Crean lake with a channel that connects the eastern Heart Lake with Crean.

There is a marina at the lake, with a paid boat launch, berths for rent, kayak, canoe, and paddleboard rentals. There is lots of parking, a pit toilet, and a fish filleting shack as well as a store.

This is a great lake to explore by paddle and a great option if Waskesiu is rough.

Fishing is not permitted in the 1st lake (most easterly).

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