KAYAKOMAT Alberta, Marten River Campground, Lesser Slave Lake Provincial Park

Come and explore Lesser Slave Lake North of Slave Lake, Alberta and get close to nature. A paddle on a kayak or SUP on this large lake never disappoints and on a calm day, is suitable for beginners. Motorized boats also use the lake and windy days can cause large waves, so be aware of your surroundings and the weather forecast when you head out to explore. You will get to see a variety of waterfowl including pelicans and common loons. Keep on the look out for fish as this is a popular sport fishing lake and they can be seen jumping out of the water throughout the day. Early mornings and evenings set the stage with glass-like water conditions for amazing sunsets and rises. This location also offers many other activities for you to enjoy such as camping, beaches, washrooms, hiking trails, interpretive programs, and fishing.
