Lesser Slave Lake Provincial Park
Home to forests full of birds and a beautiful,
natural white sand beach, Lesser Slave Lake
Provincial Park has many unique attractions. The
Boreal Centre for Bird Conservation is open year
round with interactive exhibits about the boreal
forest and in the winter rents ski and snowshoe
equipment. The Lesser Slave Lake Bird
Observatory offers public bird banding tours from
mid-July until the Labour Day weekend. Favourite
summer activities include hiking, cycling,
swimming, sunbathing, birdwatching, paddling,
fishing and kitesurfing, and in the winter enjoy
cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and ice fishing.
Park trails range from the accessible Songbird
Trail loop to the challenging, but beautiful, Lily
Lake Trail. A bicycle-friendly section of the Great
Canadian Trail follows the lakeshore all the way
from the Town of Slave Lake to Marten River
Campground.
Marten River Campground offers 72 powered and
39 unpowered sites, pit toilets, paid showers and
firewood while the RV campground at Devonshire
Beach offers 14 unpowered sites for self-contained
RVs. The Nest Comfort Camping facility is a great
choice for groups of up to ten people who prefer
the comforts of home.
Campsite reservations for the Marten River, Lily
Creek and Marten River group use areas and the
Nest Comfort Camping can be made online at
