Whiteswan Lakes [1] are a group of lakes in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The lakes are in the boreal forest ecozone west of the Cub Hills. [2] At the southern end of the lakes, on Whelan Bay, is a provincial recreation site and a resort with lodging, camping, and recreational access to the lakes. [3]
The Whiteswan Lakes are in the Northern Saskatchewan Administration District and are central to three nearby provincial parks: Narrow Hills Provincial Park to the east, Clarence-Steepbank Lakes Provincial Park to the north, and Candle Lake Provincial Park to the south. Access to the lakes is from Saskatchewan Highway 913. [4]
Whiteswan Lake (Whelan Bay) Recreation Site ( 54°01′57″N 105°06′31″W / 54.0326°N 105.1087°W) [5] is a provincial recreation site at the southern end of the Whiteswan Lakes on Whelan Bay. The park includes the neighbouring Pinkney Lake [6] and encompasses the Whiteswan Lake Resort. The resort has access to the lakes for scuba diving, swimming, boating, and fishing. There is a licensed restaurant and accommodations include cabins, RV sites, and wilderness campsites. Activities include hiking, ATVing, and, in the winter, 172 kilometres (107 mi) of snowmobile trails. [7]
Fish commonly found in the Whiteswan Lakes include lake trout, yellow perch, and northern pike. [8] The lakes are regularly stocked with lake trout. [9]
