Candle Lake Provincial Park

Candle Lake Provincial Park is a natural area in Saskatchewan featuring shallow waters, sandy shores, and pine forests connected by wooden paths. The landscape includes sand dunes and forested sections that visitors can explore on foot.

Saskatchewan established the park in 1986 to protect the natural landscape and preserve recreational opportunities in the region. This action reflected broader efforts to maintain wild spaces for future use.

Indigenous peoples maintained strong connections to the Candle Lake area through generations, utilizing its abundant natural resources for sustenance.

The park opens from May through September and offers modern facilities including campsites with electrical hookups and washroom buildings. Laundry services and propane refill stations are also available for guest use.

The park features the Minowukaw Sand Dunes where visitors can walk over sand hills while the lake supports walleye, pike, perch, burbot, and whitefish. This dune formation is a rare natural feature in the local landscape.
