Zeden Lake

Zeden Lake is a very small (77 acre) popular recreational and fishing lake in Narrow Hills Provincial Park. This is a great family-friendly lake. It's small and easy to paddle, the beach is nice and sandy, and it has some lakefront camping spots.

The lake is 46km ENE of the Resort Village of Candle Lake and 109km NE of Prince Albert.

Zeden Lake was damaged by the SHOE Fire. The campsites in the forest and a few of the buildings were lost. The campsites along the lake shore survived and the rest of the sites have been rebuilt. The lake is open for camping and day use again.

There is a campground, boat launch, playground, picnic area, and beach at the lake. It's been regularly stocked with trout but lately, there are more and more perch being found in the lake and even Northern Pike have been reported in some places.

St. John Bosco Camp is on the northeast shore of the lake.

The lake was supposedly named after a Vickers Vedette airplane (G-CYZN) that crashed into the lake.

Accessible from the Hanson Lake Road down a short gravel road.

I was told there was 12 inches of ice and 8-10 inches of flood water on top. People have driven on, but it's a bit sketchy with the water.

Stopped in to make coffee and go for a swim. Great little lake! Really nice beach, boat launch, and day-use area. Very nice campsites along the water, and some further back in the woods. Lots of kids were out swimming and paddling while I was there.
