The finest beach and campground in Wood Buffalo National Park, Pine Lake features soothing sand and shallow, warm, aquamarine waters.

Pine Lake is an oasis in the middle of the boreal forest, just a short 45 minute drive from Fort Smith. Originating from three natural sinkholes, its warm clear waters make it ideal for swimming or paddling. Its sandy beaches are the perfect location to kick back and enjoy the incredible Midnight Sun views.

Non-serviced RV and tenting sites are available, along with a kitchen shelter, picnic tables, fire pits, firewood, washroom facilities, a playground and change rooms. Pine Lake Beach is open from the May long weekend to Labour Day weekend in September.
