Pike Lake
Pike Lake is a very popular recreational lake located 28km SSW of Saskatoon with access from Highway 60. It is the closest recreational lake to Saskatoon and a great family destination.
[Pike Lake Provincial Park](#pike-lake-provincial-park) is the main attraction at Pike Lake. The provincial park has two beaches, an outdoor pool, mini-golf, a boat launch, a nature trail, multiple day-use/picnic areas, cabin rentals, a large campground with 222 sites, as well as many private cabins.
The lake is quite shallow and can be very weedy. Although there is a good boat launch and larger boats use the lake, there is a maximum 10HP motor restriction.
The community of Pike Lake is located just north of the provincial park, and Camp Seeonee (Scouts Camp) is located on the north end of the lake. The community has a school and a community centre.
Although you can find Northern Pike in the lake, it's not the most popular fishing destination. Don't let the name fool you, either. The lake is named after the medieval weapon (Pike) that the shape of the lake resembles, not the fish species.
Pike Lake is an oxbow lake and requires water pumped from the South Saskatchewan River to maintain the water level.
