Saskatchewan Provincial Parks - Wake Up Your Senses

Squish the sand between your toes as you and the kids stroll out far from shore at the main beach.  Or grab your hats and amble down the shoreline trail to the sand dunes, where wind, weather and time have created an intriguing backdrop to a beach peach perfect for private sunbathing.

There’s an 18-hole mini-golf facility, a summertime food concession, tennis courts and superb beach volleyball courts that have hosted the provincial playoffs.  Rental accommodations, an 18-hole, grass-green golf course with restaurant, as well as groceries, gas and liquor are all located less than 2 km from the park boundary.

The Trans Canada Trail and a self-interpretive sand dunes trail are two of many park paths offering hikers and cyclists – and cross-country skiers, in wintertime – an opportunity to exercise and explore.  Watch for fox, coyote, deer and rabbit in the dunes area, and moose and elk elsewhere.  Grosbeaks, waxwings, sharp-tailed grouse and numerous water birds are common sights in the park, as well.

Experience what Maclean’s Magazine says is one of the Top 10 beaches in Canada.  Wake up your senses at Good Spirit Lake Provincial Park!

Camping

Good Spirit Lake is a Reserve-A-Site Park.

The Reserve-A-Site program is now closed for the season.  We've enjoyed serving you over the camping season and look forward to hearing from you in the New Year.  Updated Reserve-A-Site information will be posted here in December 2008.  Thank you.

With 126 electrified and 88 non-electrified sites, plus plenty of overflow and economy spots, Good Spirit can accommodate many people.  And no matter where you choose to camp in this spruce, poplar and aspen setting, you’ll have access to hot showers and other conveniences in the service centres.

Three campgrounds with 215 sites:

  • Electric Sites:  127 (near a service centre)
  • Non-electric Sites:  88 (near a service centre)

Seasonal Camping

Good Spirit offers seasonal camping spots. 

Seasonal camping is complete for this year.  Information on 2009 seasonal camping will be posted on the Seasonal Camping page in the New Year.  To be placed on our mailing list and have the application forms for the 2009 season sent to you when they are available, please call the park office at (306) 792-4750 or email us at GoodSpirit@gov.sk.ca.  Thank you for your interest in the seasonal camping program.

Group Camping

Group camping is available at two locations in the park and is popular for family reunions or other group gatherings.  One group site is electrified and four sites are non-electric.  The group camping program is very popular.  It is advisable to book as far in advance as possible to avoid disappointment.

In-Park Services

There are limited fast food and convenience services in the park; however, just one mile south of the park, Good Spirit Market can provide you with groceries, gas, propane, wine, liquor, beer and the finest fudge.  The communities of Canora and Yorkton offer all necessary services and amenities.

Nearby Attractions

The area around Good Spirit Lake is a wealth of attractions including golfing, historic sites, museums and more.

City of Yorkton – Yorkton located less then a half hour drive from the park is home to the Western Development Museum – Story of People, which re-creates the times and styles of western Canadian immigrants.  Yorkton also features the Gallagher Centre Water Park which includes a wave pool, whirl pool, lazy river and a waterslide.
