Jade Lake

Jade Lake is one of the very popular Gem Lakes in the Narrow Hills Provincial Park. It's the closest lake to the parking lot and probably the most well-known and photographed. This is an incredibly popular destination for hiking, paddling, swimming and camping!

The lake is not big at only 30 acres but is still the largest of the Gem Lakes.

Jade Lake is 54km NE of the Resort Village of Candle Lake and 123km NNE of Prince Albert. The parking lot for the lake is accessible on a gravel road off of Highway 913 (gravel). The road is usually in decent shape and I've seen some pretty small cars in there. Be aware that it can be rough and is not maintained frequently.

The lake itself is only accessible by trail. There is good access for launching a canoe/kayak but it is at the bottom of a fairly steep set of stairs. So be prepared to carry your boat down the trail and stairs before launching. Please note that no gas motors are allowed on the Gem Lakes

From Jade Lake it is possible to portage to a number of the other Gem Lakes. There is also a hiking trail that loops around many of the lakes. There is no cell service at the Gems so I recommend taking a picture of the Hiking Trail map near the parking lot before getting started.

It is regularly stocked with Rainbow Trout and Tiger Trout.

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