Several small residential subdivisions are located within the park on the west side of the lake and there is an unincorporated rural residential community immediately adjacent to the northern park gates of the park named Pike Lake. The Pike Lake community includes a school and a recreation centre. Other nearby communities include Delisle and Vanscoy.[4]

Recreation and amenities

edit

The park includes a campground with 222 campsites, a pool and waterpark, beach, a large picnic area and grassy field, nature trail system, miniature golf course, a snack bar / convenience store, cabins, tennis, volleyball, and a small golf course,[5] all located on the west shore of the lake.[6] Due to its proximity to Saskatoon, it is a popular destination for school trips and weekend campers. The park's 1.5-km nature trail begins at the interpretive centre and provides a great opportunity to experience the diverse wildlife and ecosystems contained within the park. Part of the trail is an observation deck that juts out into the lake. The waterpark is open from early June to Labour Day.[7]
