Candle Lake Park is located less than an hour northeast of Prince Albert.  The park area is dominated by the large lake, a clean and clear body of water featuring good-sized campgrounds on the east and west side, and plenty of great fishing, boating and water-skiing in between.  Beaches?  Candle Lake boasts about 7 km of them. 

Minowukaw, Waskateena and Sandy Bay rate among the top 10 inland beaches in Canada.

Wake up your senses! Come to Candle Lake Provincial Park to boost your batteries and lift your spirits. And soothe your soles while you’re here!
