Dillberry Lake

In June, we had the chance to stop in at Dillberry Lake, which straddles the Alberta-Saskatchewan border about 80km south of Lloydminster. The lake is small (maybe 1 km by half a km) and shallow (so very warm). The water was very clear when we were there but there are warnings about swimmers itch.


Access is off Highway 17 and the lake is in a provincial park. There is no charge for day use but you can also camp here on the west end,


Day-use access is on the south side of the lake. There is a nice boat launch.


There is also a sandy beach with change rooms, toilets, and a playground plus a roped off swimming area. 


There are power boats on the lake as well as private cabins.


We didn't have time for a paddle (although it would have been short). This probably isn't a lake I'd drive to (it is 3+ hours from Edmonton) but, if I was in the area, I might stop in at.
