Sturgeon Lake
Sturgeon Lake is a popular fishing, boating, and camping lake located about 30 minutes north of Prince Albert.
The lake is located along the Sturgeon River and is quite long and winding. There is a dam at the eastern end of the lake that regulates that water level. The majority of the lake is within the Sturgeon Lake 101 Reserve, and the rest is in the RM of Shellbrook.
Sturgeon Lake Regional Park located at the lake has a campground, boat launch, beach, restaurant/store and two subdivisions of cabins.
The lake is split into two divided by a culvert. The larger section and most regional park services are on the eastern side. The western side is much quieter with no large boats, and is a great destination for a paddle. There is a picnic area and playground, and a launch suitable for paddlers. I've seen plenty of eagles, blue herons, and other birds on that side and you can paddle right up the Sturgeon River from the lake.
There are Walleye, Northern Pike and Perch in the lake, quite a few people come out to fish during the summer, and usually some ice fishing shacks setup in the winter.
This lake has been personally visited by myself, Matthew Siemens.

Directions to Sturgeon Lake
The roads to the Regional Park are actually quite good. The park is accessible from Highway 788 which can be accessed either from Highway 693 north of Holbein or 355 near spruce home. Highway 693 is paved for it's entirety but can have broken pavement and ridges depending on the time of year. Highway 355 has been recently paved up to the Sturgeon Lake Reserve turn off but after that is 14km of often fairly rough gravel to the regional park.
