Moonshine Lake Provincial Park

Moonshine Lake Provincial Park is a recreational lake area in Saddle Hills County with more than 100 powered camping spots arranged around the shoreline. The site includes a sandy beach, boat launch, and walking trails that explore the surrounding landscape.

The lake acquired its name from an event when two people accidentally spilled homemade alcohol during transport across the water. This incident became embedded in local memory and shaped how residents refer to the place.

The park draws people seeking outdoor recreation and connection with nature throughout the year. Visitors use the lake and surrounding area for activities that change with each season.

The area provides shower facilities, restroom buildings, and sewage disposal stations for registered campers throughout the season. The water is suitable for swimming and boating, while the walking trails offer chances to explore without equipment.

Rainbow trout inhabit the waters, making fishing possible in ways that shift between seasons. Winter anglers can fish through holes in the ice, while summer fishing happens from docks and piers.
