Pierce Lake is a very large and very deep fishing and recreational lake on the west end of Meadow Lake Provincial Park. It has a surface area of 6,579 acres and a max depth of over 150ft.

Highway 919 (gravel) runs along the southern shore of the lake and provides access to the lake and amenities.

The town of Pierceland is just 19km south of the lake which has several services including groceries, gas, and mechanics.

Pierce Lake Resort and Sandy Beach Campground are the only developments on the lake.

The resort is at the southeast corner of the lake on Howe Bay and has 55 campsites, rental cabins, a beach, docks, and boat rentals.

The Sandy Beach Provincial Campground is further west on the lake and features 83 campsites (some electric), and group campsites. There is a very nice beach, day-use facilities, concession, playground, and boat launch.

Fishing is a popular activity at the lake in both the summer and winter. You'll find Lake Trout, Northern Pike, and Walleye in Pierce Lake.

The Boreal Trail runs along past the resort and along the south end of the lake.
