Calhoun Bay Campground

Calhoun Bay Campground Provincial Park Recreation Area.

Calhoun Bay Campground is located on the east side of Buck Lake 120km southwest of Edmonton. There are 50 campsites with picnic tables and fire pits. Most of the camp sites are surrounded by Aspen and Spruce trees which provide good privacy. A few of the sites are located on or near a small canal that flows into the lake and close enough to keep your boat next to. This campground has water, toilets, refuse containers, fire wood, boat launch, fish cleaning stations and a pay telephone. Buck Lake is excellent for power boating, water skiing, canoeing, kayaking, wind surfing and both summer and winter ice fishing. The lake is approximately 9.3km long with a maximum width of 6.3km. Maximum depth is 12.2m . Buck Lake holds Walleye, northern Pike, Yellow Perch and Lake Whitefish. You'll need a fishing license to try out your luck. The canal leading into Buck Lake is very nice and an excellent place to tie up your fishing boat. Bird watching can be very good as the lake and canal attracts several different bird species. Calhoun Bay is the nicer of the two Provincial campgrounds located on Buck Lake. The other, Buck lake Campground is located at the north end of the lake about 18km away. Medicine Lake Campground is located approximately 34km south of here. Night skies here rank # 4 on the Bortle Scale. Access to the campground is a 7km gravel road.
