Winagami Lake Provincial Park

Winagami Lake Provincial Park surrounds the lake on three sides with wetlands, forests, and ecosystems typical of the boreal forest. The protected area encompasses natural habitats that shift with the seasons.

The park was established in 1956 to protect natural areas in the Smoky River Municipal District. This creation marked an important step in preserving the region's landscapes.

The lake's name comes from the Cree language and refers to the water's characteristics in this part of northern Alberta. This linguistic connection reflects the Indigenous heritage of the region.

The park sits about 30 kilometers north of High Prairie along Highway 2 and offers facilities for camping, hiking, and fishing. Bird watching is possible throughout the year and access is straightforward.

The water body has elevated nutrient levels that support a rich fish population. This characteristic makes it especially productive for anglers, as several fish species thrive here.
