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. There are also two other cabin subdivisions on the lake, and the Nelson Crossing RV Park.
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.
