Young's Point Provincial Park Beach on the northwest shore of Sturgeon Lake has a small seasonal
beach surrounded by a grass area perfect for picnicking or tossing a ball. The beach has shallow, clear waters with more reeds and weeds in a natural setting. The beach and PP are known more for wildlife viewing and great camping, boating, and fishing/canoeing opportunities.
Young's Point Provincial Park was named for Frederick Campbell Young, who homesteaded in the area in
1920. It is a large park, located on 1,089 ha of land on the north shore. It can be reached from Highway
34 by a 9-km-long local road at the west end of the lake (Fig. 2). Park facilities include 124 campsites,
a sewage disposal facility, 2 playgrounds, a boat launch, picnic areas, a beach and
swimming area, and walking trails. Recreational activities enjoyed by park visitors
include swimming, boating, fishing, picnicking, hiking, skating, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing.
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
