Park Description
Clearwater Lake, nestled in the beautiful Coteau Hills, is the only natural spring fed lake in the area. The lake is an oasis of trees and water that attracts birds, animals and humans to its shores. Natural grasslands and beautiful hills surround the park. There are 298 private cabins at our park.
Local Services
Essential services (gas, groceries, liquor vendor, church) are located in the nearby Town of Kyle. There is a drive in theater located 6 km west of the park entrance and museum in the Town of Kyle.
Park / Area History
The lake area has been used for recreation since the first settlers arrived. Elmer and Ann Nelson started a family enterprise in 1925 based on the western tradition of neighborliness and generosity and they set about to share and preserve the natural beauty of the lake. The park is spring fed.
Barrier Free Access
Campsites are level grass/gravel. A wheelchair accessible washroom is available. This park also features a wheelchair accessible store/office and visitor information.

Hiking/Nature Trails
Many people enjoy walking around the lake on a daily basis at their favorite time of day and at their preferred speed. The park is also a great place to do some bird watching. It is listed as a birding hot spot in J. Frank Roy’s Birds of Elbow, SK. It is recommended that you come early in the season, but even in July a large number of birds can be sighted in an early morning walk around the lake. It is also a great place to observe deer and it is not uncommon to see a doe and her fawn or fawns early in the morning or evening as they abound in the surrounding hills and often come to the lake for water.
Additional Features
There is a fireworks display on July long weekend and on Canada Day we have an annual parade. Decorate your bike, golf cart or car. Prizes to be won! We also have a dog and bike path running along the back of the main beach.
