A Saskatchewan provincial park on Candle Lake, northeast of Prince Albert, known for clear, shallow water, sandy beaches and family camping. Fishing reports are mixed.
Candle Lake Provincial Park wraps around a large lake with long stretches of sandy shoreline, and beaches are what most visitors talk about. The water is described as clear and shallow a long way out, which makes the public beaches popular with families of small children. Waskateena Beach gets singled out, and several people mention the unusual purple sand beaches.
Campers describe the campgrounds as quiet and clean, with good sites and helpful staff, and one says booking online is easy. The townsite nearby has full amenities, and the park is a manageable drive from Prince Albert. One recent visitor felt washrooms and change rooms were too few for the number of beachgoers.
People come year-round. Summer brings swimming, boating and camping, and winter visitors mention snowmobiling and quadding. Anglers are split: some say the fishing is good, while at least one found little to catch.
Sites at one campground drew a comment about crowding, so it's worth comparing campgrounds before you book. Expect busy beaches on warm summer weekends.
