McBride Lake

McBride Lake is a medium-sized (662 acre) recreational lake in the west block of Porcupine Hills Provincial Park. The lake is 43km S of Hudson Bay with access from Highway 983 (gravel).

The lake is popular for fishing and boating, and I found it to be a great lake for paddling. You can paddle upstream to Eldredge Lake, or downstream along the Pepaw River. Northern Pike, Walleye and Yellow Perch can all be found in the lake.

The lake is quite narrow and runs from west to east following the course of the Pepaw River. Eldredge Lake is upstream and Pepaw Lake is downstream from McBride Lake. All of these lakes are accessible from Highway 983 (gravel).

McBride Lake Campground is a private campground at the lake. The majority of the sites are seasonal, and there is currently a waiting list for seasonal sites. There are a handful of overnight sites available. The campground also has a boat launch, fish-filleting shack, and outhouses. The owners are wonderful and do a great job taking care of the campground!

There is a subdivision of cabins at the lake that is surrounded by the provincial park but technically not part of it.

I really like this lake. Fun place to paddle! Very popular campground with friendly, helpful owner operators. I live a long way away, but I hope to return again for a paddle when I get a chance!
