Winagami Lake Provincial Park | Alberta

Winagami Lake Provincial Park is an Alberta Parks provincial park in the North region. Alberta Parks lists one day-use area, one campground, and one group-use area.

The official page says the park was established in 1956 at the request of local residents and is one of the few Alberta parks whose boundaries include the lakebed.

Why Visit Winagami Lake Provincial Park

Winagami Lake is a shallow-lake and forest park for camping, birding, fishing, paddling, wind sports, winter trails, and family day use. Alberta Parks identifies the lake and nearby Kimiwan Lake as excellent birding areas, especially during spring and fall migrations.

More than 200 bird species have been observed, including nesting and migratory birds, grebes, sandpipers, gulls, ducks, merlin, northern goshawk, and fall bald eagles. One viewing platform has binoculars.

Activities include canoeing and kayaking, cross-country skiing, fishing, front-country hiking, ice fishing, power boating, sailing, volleyball, snowshoeing, water skiing, wind surfing, geocaching, and a wading pool. The pool operates in summer from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Trails include Window on the Lake Trail and winter routes. Waterfowl hunting is permitted only over the bed and shore of Winagami Lake, with firearms discharge permits required and target shooting prohibited.

Things To Do

Plan around camping, group use, birding, wading pool visits, paddling, fishing, ice fishing, skiing, snowshoeing, wind sports, geocaching, and waterfowl hunting checks.

Planning Notes

Confirm campground status, pool hours, hunting permit rules, shoreline exclusions, AIS precautions, fishing rules, trail conditions, maps, weather, and Alberta Parks updates.
