Steepbank Lake
Clarence and Steepbank Provincial Park Closed for 2025 season
The park is closed and access is blocked for the entire 2025 season due to wildfire damage.
Steepbank Lake is a small (370 acre) lake within Clarence-Steepbank Lakes Provincial Park.
The lake is 54km NNE of Candle Lake (Village) and 123km NNE of Prince Albert. The nearest highway to the lake is Highway 927. An access road runs past many of the lakes in the provincial park but ends before it gets to Steepbank Lake. Along the access road, there is a bridge that is no longer maintained, although you can walk across it, it is unsafe for vehicles. From the bridge, you can walk into Steepbank Lake itself.
Steepbank Lake is within a steep valley and resembles a coastal fjord which is where the name came from.
There is a sandy beach and two primitive campsites at the lake. This is a very pretty lake and well worth the effort to get too.
Walleye, Lake Trout, Northern Pike, White Sucker and Yellow Perch can be found in Steepbank Lake.
Steepbank is the most downstream lake in the Bow River chain of lakes. The lake is not actually on the course of the Bow River but is connected to the river by a short stream.
