Reputedly named for the Metis poet/songwriter Pierre Falcon (1793-1876), Falcon Lake is known for clear, deep water and access to an excellent self-guided interpretive trail along Falcon Creek. Other multi-use trails wind through the parks and are frequented by runner, cyclists, hikers and cross country skiers. The adjacent town offers recreational activities ranging from golf to horseback riding to lawn bowling. On the west end of the lake, Falcon Beach campground of Whiteshell Provincial Park offers basic, electrical, and full-serviced sites. It is the site of Whiteshell's Family Fishing Weekend (look out for northern pike, bass, and walleye) and the campground's visitor services centre, which offers concessions as well as bathrooms and changing facilities. Parking is available very close to the beach and a boat launch is available. The location is ideal for families; though swimming is unsupervised, a playground a picnic shelters are right at the beach.
