Namekus Lake

Namekus Lake is a medium-sized (2,132 acre) recreational lake located within Prince Albert National Park on the scenic highway (#263). The farthest east section of the lake extends outside of the National Park.

There is a campground, picnic sites, and a great beach. No motors are allowed on the lake, and there is no boat launch, which makes this a great lake for paddling, swimming, or a lake front picnic!

Namekus is the Woods Cree word for Lake Trout. You won't find them in the lake, but Northern Pike, Walleye, and Whitefish can all be found. If you plan on fishing, you'll need a National Park license and need to follow National Park rules and regulations.

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