Pike Lake is a very popular recreational lake located 28km SSW of Saskatoon with access from Highway 60. It is the closest recreational lake to Saskatoon and a great family destination.

Pike Lake Provincial Park is the main attraction at Pike Lake. The provincial park has two beaches, an outdoor pool, mini-golf, a boat launch, a nature trail, multiple day-use/picnic areas, cabin rentals, a large campground with 222 sites, as well as many private cabins.

The lake is quite shallow and can be very weedy. Although there is a good boat launch and larger boats use the lake, there is a maximum 10HP motor restriction.

The community of Pike Lake is located just north of the provincial park, and Camp Seeonee (Scouts Camp) is located on the north end of the lake. The community has a school and a community centre.

Although you can find Northern Pike in the lake, it's not the most popular fishing destination. Don't let the name fool you, either. The lake is named after the medieval weapon (Pike) that the shape of the lake resembles, not the fish species.

Pike Lake is an oxbow lake and requires water pumped from the South Saskatchewan River to maintain the water level.

Visit Hiking

1st hike of the season. The Gift of Green trail was completely accessible. There were a couple areas that were a little muddy but nothing to worry about. The marsh water was the clearest I've ever seen it, and I watch some water beetles diving. There was a lot of elk droppings on the trail and we had a couple encounters with chickadees, chipmunks, and a squirrel.

Small lake not too far from Saskatoon. Two beaches, boat launch, camping, and lots of day-use facilities. Great place to visit, paddle, and watch the birds!

Many of the campsites at the provincial park are flooded heading into the July long weekend. Be prepared for mosquitoes and have something to trench out your site!
