Lake of the Day

The lake of the day for March 28, 2025 is Sandy Lake.

Sandy Lake is a large (2,510 acre) fishing and recreational lake in the Prince Albert National Park.

The lake is 24km WNW of the resort village of Christopher Lake and 56km NNW of Prince Albert and is accessible from the scenic highway (#263)

There is a boat launch, campground, and beach at the lake. The beach has many day-use picnic sites and a covered picnic area. This is one of only a few lakes in the park that allow motors and is a popular boating destination and fishing destination.

Walleye and Northern Pike can be found in the lake. Lake trout have been caught in the past, but I haven't heard any recent reports.

The campground has some lakefront sites as well as walk-in tenting sites. The campground is self-registration and there is no potable water on-site. A short trail from the end of the campground connects to the popular Elk hiking trail.

Late September trip to Meadow Lake Provincial Park

I closed off September with a quick trip up to the Meadow Lake Provincial Park. I was able to sneak in on the last two days that the Greig Lake Campground was open. I haven't been to the park in years, and even then have only visited a handful of the many lakes that are available.
