Waskesiu Lake

Waskesiu Lake is a huge, incredibly popular lake and the top tourist destination within the Prince Albert National Park.

The park offices and resort village of Waskesiu are located on the east shore of the lake, featuring hotels, restaurants, a movie theatre, coffee shops, museums and much more.

The lake itself features many beaches, multiple marinas/boat launches, kilometres of hiking trails, as well as hundreds of camping sites, cabins, and a golf course. The natural beauty of the lake and the huge number of services and attractions at the lake make it one of the most popular and busiest lakes in the province!

The lake is accessible from both Highways 263 and 264. Highway 264 is a scenic highway and very popular with visitors passing many lakes and trails on the way to Waskesiu Lake.

This lake has been personally visited by myself, Matthew Siemens.
