Sapphire Lake

Sapphire Lake is one of the super popular Gem Lakes located in Narrow Hills Provincial Park. The Gem Lakes are an incredibly popular destination for hiking, paddling, swimming, and camping!

Unfortunately the lake was significantly impacted by the SHOE fire in the summer of 2025. The forest around the Gem Lakes was burnt including many of the amenities at the lakes. Although the park will be open for day use during the 2026 season, the campsites at the lakes will remain closed.

The only access to Sapphire Lake is by trail or paddling/portaging. The parking lot for accessing all the Gem Lakes is located near Jade Lake. There is a portage connecting Opal Lake to Sapphire Lake. Please note only electric motors are allowed on Sapphire Lake.

There are two back country-campsites on Sapphire Lake.

Sapphire Lake is stocked every two years with splake. Different types of stocked trout can be found in most of the Gem Lakes.
