Shannon Lake

Shannon Lake is a beautiful, tiny stocked trout lake within Narrow Hills Provincial Park. The lake is 48km ENE of the Resort Village of Candle Lake and 111km NE of Prince Albert.

The forest around the lake was burnt in 2025 by the SHOE Fire. The day use facilities were saved, but it's going to look a lot different there this summer.

There is a boat launch and picnic area at the lake, with more facilities located at the nearby Ispuchaw Lake, Zeden Lake, and Lower Fishing Lake.

The lake is accessible from the Hanson Lake Road. There is a pull off the road with a memorial plaque for Harold Shannon, the boat launch is at the south end of the lake with the turn 600m S of the pull-off.

Shannon Lake is regularly stocked with Brown Trout.

Shannon Lake is named after sportsman and conservationist Harold Shannon who served in WW1 and also acted as postmaster and justice of the peace.

Small, pretty, and super clear water. Stocked regularly with brown trout, it's a great place for a little canoe trip or some trout fishing.
