Park Description

This park may be a bit off the beaten path but that is, in fact, one of its best features. Struthers Lake Regional Park gives the visitor a view of sand hills bordering a small peaceful lake. If you're looking for a great place to host a company picnic, family or school reunion, church picnic, wedding, or anniversary then come visit Struthers Lake.

We have a Gazebo for rent that will hold up to 150 people! Built in 1992, the gazebo provides the perfect place to hold a gathering! The park has seven rental cabins which are electrified and furnished, with fridge, microwave, table & chairs and beds. Bring your own bedding and dishes. Our concession offers full meals, snacks and a few groceries. Please not the concession is CASH only. Modern washrooms with showers are located adjacent to the concession building. In addition to the excellent bird watching right in the park, the waterhen marsh is a short 15 minutes away. It is designated a bird sanctuary and is host to many varieties of birds and waterfowl.

The park was founded in 1965 by the Kinistino Fish and Game League (now known as the Struthers Lake Wildlife Federation), in order to provide a low cost family park for local people. It is surrounded by farmland and receives funds for capital expansion from surrounding rural municipalities.

Camping

Struthers is a very well maintained park with beautiful trees, luscious green grass and plenty of room to roam. The park has plenty to offer all ages of campers including two fun playgrounds, one geared towards tots. A spray park and water slide at the beach is host to many hours of fun in the sun! As you drive into the park you will come upon a playground, horseshoe pit and mini golf course with a picnic area nestled in the shady trees.

There are 66 campsites – 44 sites are designated seasonal sites and 17 are serviced and 5 non-serviced sites are available. All campsites are equipped with picnic tables, fire pits and garbage cans. All sites have access to water standpipes which supply good potable well water. Toilets in the campgrounds are outhouses with full washroom facilities available in the shower house adjacent to the concession.


Group Camping

There is one cozy, private group camping area that is designated for tenting.

Golf

The mini golf course has been removed for the time being and we are in the process of accepting sponsors for the new 9-hole course.  If interested in sponsoring a hole and for more information, please contact the park via email.  A new course will be constructed shortly.

Swimming

A small beach just down from the concession and large playground area provides relief from the summer heat. The swimming area is buoyed and unsupervised. A floating tethered dock provide noisy fun for the swimmers. Benches and picnic tables on the sand beach provide a shady restful spot to keep an eye on the young swimmers. Located next to the concession is the spray park with a waterslide that takes you down to the beach. There is outdoor seating for moms and dads to supervise your little ones.  Take advantage of swimming lessons offered for a week in the summer.

Playground/Recreation Activities

There is one ball diamond in the park with a mesh backstop on wooden supports, grass infields and home run fencing. Also provided are players benches and bleachers for the spectators. Horseshoe pits nearby offer some relaxing activity. A large playground with several different attractions and obstacles is located near the beach and sand volleyball court.  A large swing set and covered picnic camp kitchen is perfect for family gatherings. A smaller playground for younger children is located in “G” campground that has plenty of sand, a swing set and play centre.

Boating and Fishing

Our boat launch area features a dock and concrete pad. Boat launch fees are charged per day or season. There are two docks one for boat launching and one for fishing off of to ensure everyone’s safety. A nearby electrified filleting station features running water to help clean your catch of pickerel, northern pike and suckers found in our lake. Though a small lake, there is room for waterskiing, wakeboarding, tubing, canoeing and fishing. All watercraft is permitted through park gates.

Hiking/Nature Trails

The park offers two hiking trails, 0.75 km to 2.5 km. The trails provide picturesque glimpses of the lake, small wildlife and birds. The longer hike (4.3 km) is for the more adventurous and energetic. It may offer a chance encounter with a deer or elk.

Additional Features

A quiet very well maintained family park. Although ATV’s are not permitted to be driven around in the park there are areas outside of the park to explore. The second oldest Geocache in Saskatchewan lives at Struthers Lake Regional Park along with several others for your enjoyment. A stunning fireworks display happens on July long weekend along with the Canada Day Celebrations and activities.
