Description
Established in 1956 at the request of local residents who wanted a provincial park in the area, Winagami Lake is one of a handful of parks in the province that includes the lakebed within its boundaries. The shallow lake and forest around it are home to many species of birds in the spring, summer, and fall, as well as a stopover site for migrating waterfowl.
The lake provides opportunities for fishing, ice fishing, boating, windsurfing, paddling, and birdwatching. A wading pool in the day use area allows your little ones to cool down on a hot summer day. Approximately 2km of trail provide opportunities for hiking and cycling in the warmer months, and skiing and snowshoeing in the winter. Just a 15-minute drive away, the O’Mahony Conservation Area adds over 8 additional kilometres of trail for you to explore.
Winagami Lake Campground has 66 treed sites suitable for both tents and RVs, with both unserviced and powered options. Firepits are provided. From your campsite, it’s a short walk or bike ride to the day use area with a playground and wading pool or to the boat launch and piers. There are pit toilets in the campground loops, and the shower building offers flush toilets as well as showers. Sewage disposal is provided a 2-minute drive from the campground, near the entrance to the Provincial Park. The nearest town, High Prairie, is a 25-minute drive away and offers a full range of supplies and services.
Water is available from standpipes at this campground.
