Hanging Heart Lake, Prince Albert National Park

In July, we paddled a small portion of Hanging Heart Lake in Prince Albert National Park. Hanging Heart Lake is just north of Waskesiu and connects into the much larger Crean Lake. There are boat-in campsites on Crean Lake.


Access is through the Hanging Heart Lake Marina. There are washrooms, a boat launch, kayak and canoe rentals, and lots of parking. There is no charge to launch a kayak or canoe.


Nice boat launch and you are out into the first (and smallest) of three basins in the lake. 


Clean water, reeds on the edge, trees beyond. 


The narrows between the basins were clearly marked.


We got into the second basins and then the weather started to turn so we headed back. All three basins would be a long day of paddling.


Overall, a pretty lake. More of a fishing lake than a swimming lake, but the water was clean.
