Crooked Lake Provincial Park

Crooked Lake Provincial Park sits in one of the most scenic sections of the Qu'Appelle Valley, where steeply wooded slopes drop down to meet the calm waters of Crooked Lake. The valley here is glacially carved and dramatic by prairie standards, with views across the water and up the opposite hillside that feel genuinely impressive. The lake itself is warm enough for comfortable swimming by mid-summer, and boaters and anglers share the water in pursuit of walleye, pike, and perch.

The campground occupies a pleasant spot near the lakeshore with a mix of electric and non-electric sites, and a Camp-Easy yurt provides a cozy alternative for those travelling without camping gear. Hiking trails wind through the valley terrain, offering both easy lakeside walks and more challenging routes up the valley slopes. Crooked Lake is a strong choice for campers who want scenic surroundings without committing to a long drive.
