Shady Lake

Shady Lake is a small lake in Prince Albert National Park, just south of Waskesiu Lake.

There is no road access to the lake, but there is a parking lot off Highway 263 with a trail down to the water. It is also possible to paddle/portage from Amiskowan Lake into Shady Lake.

This is a really pretty, quiet little lake. It's a great spot for a hike or a paddle!

Shady Lake is part of the canoe route from Amiskowan Lake into the campground at Beartrap Lake

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

Visited by Matthew Siemens (paddling)

I paddled into Shady Lake from Amiskowan Lake. Water was getting low, but the creek was still passable. Didn't make it all the way to Beartrap Lake but I plan on doing that next summer!
