Kingsmere Lake

Kingsmere Lake is a massive (13,376 acre) lake in Prince Albert National Park. It is a popular destination for fishing, canoeing, hiking, camping and swimming.

Access to the lake is at the end of the Kingsmere Road (gravel) about 30km from the town of Waskesiu. The lake itself is not accessible by road but can be accessed by trail and the river. There is a boat launch on the Kingsmere River and a trolley to bypass an inaccessible portion of the river. You can hike to the Southend campground, as well as all of the campgrounds on the eastern shore.

Motors are allowed on the lake but are limited to a maximum of 40 HP. Be aware that the lake is very large and has wide open areas of water, if the weather is bad you may need to wait to cross the lake.

Kingsmere is a popular fishing lake, with Lake Trout, Walleye, and Northern Pike commonly caught. Multiple back-country campgrounds are on the lake, some accessible by trail and some only by water. You'll need to be registered at the PANP Visitor Centre the day of your tip to stay at these campsites.

Grey Owl Trail a very popular hiking route to the Grey Owl Cabin on Ajawaan Lake follows the eastern shore of Kingsmere Lake. Many people also canoe on Kingsmere to the Northend Campground and then hike in the remaining couple kilometres to Ajawaan Lake.

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