Fishing Lake

Lower Fishing Lake open for day use

Jun 27, 2025 | 1:11 PM

A lot of the trees may be gone but the beach and the fish are still there. The province has announced the re-opening of Lower Fishing Lake in the Narrow Hills Provincial Park for day use only.

Users can access the beach, launch a boat and use the parking areas, but no overnight stays will be permitted.

Upper Fishing, Zeden, Baldy, Nipawin, Sealey, Burtlein, Shannon and Pine Lakes are all open to fishing and boating.

More lakes may open soon, so people should keep an eye out for more announcements to come.

Important reminders are that all park operated campgrounds are closed for the season but there are no fire bans or restrictions in effect anymore after days of rain.

An ATV and UTV ban is still in effect for the entire season in the Narrow Hills Provincial Park.

The park was closed this spring after the Shoe Fire destroyed campgrounds at Gem Lake and Lost Echo Lake.
