Smoke Lake Provincial Recreation Area is an Alberta Parks recreation area in the North region, nine kilometres southwest of Fox Creek off Highway 43. Alberta Parks lists one campground and one day-use area.
The official page says For-Site Environmental Services operates on behalf of the Town of Fox Creek.
Smoke Lake is a water-focused campground and day-use area with a sandy beach, clear lake access, and both boat and hand launches. Alberta Parks highlights power boating, water skiing, swimming, fishing, and winter ice fishing.
Activities include canoeing and kayaking, ice fishing, power boating, off-site snowmobiling, water skiing, fishing, and geocaching. Water activities carry aquatic invasive species reminders, so boaters and paddlers should clean, drain, and dry equipment.
Anglers can plan around walleye, perch, pike, and whitefish according to the official page, while winter visitors can return for ice fishing. Canoe and kayak rentals may be available by calling the operator, subject to availability.
Snowmobile rules are specific: access to the lake only is permitted, snowmobiling elsewhere in the recreation area is prohibited, and staging is permitted from the boat-launch parking lot.
Because the park is lake-centered, wind, ice, and launch conditions should shape daily plans.
Plan around camping, beach use, swimming, canoeing, kayaking, power boating, water skiing, fishing, ice fishing, geocaching, rentals, and snowmobile access to the lake.
Confirm campground status, operator updates, boat and hand launch access, AIS precautions, fishing rules, ice conditions, snowmobile limits, maps, weather, and Alberta Parks updates.
