McLaren Lake Regional Park

[edit]

McLaren Lake Regional Park (50°17′44″N 109°53′03″W / 50.2956°N 109.8841°W / 50.2956; -109.8841)[5] is a park situated on a small, man-made lake. The lake was created with the construction of a dam in the 1960s. The regional park was created in 1961 and, soon after, 5,000 trees were planted. Four years later, in 1965, the ball diamond and concession booth were built. The following year, the lake was stocked with 250,000 walleye. The park has amenities such as a campground, beach, dock, cabin rentals, golf, and a playground. The campground has 67 campsites, washrooms, showers, canteen, and a sani-dump. The golf course is a 9-hole course with sand greens.[6][7]

The lake is about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) long, 500 metres (1,600 ft) wide and has been stocked with rainbow trout. Five wind powered aeration systems have been installed to oxygenate the lake during the winter months. Access to the park and its amenities is from Highway 635.[8]
