"Kenosee Lake is a popular recreation lake, with beaches, waterslides and camping in Moose Mountain Provincial Park. It is less well-known as a fishing lake, but there are hopes that this will change with an aggressive stocking program. In the past, water levels in Kenosee Lake have made it difficult for fish populations to thrive. The lake was subject to winterkill, and had a difficult time rebounding during the summer. However, rehabilitation efforts have seen great improvement. A culvert was added to link Kenosee Lake with Little Kenosee Lake, and this has helped to increase water levels. As well, fishing is about to see a great boost. In 2012, 1,500 perch were stocked in Kenosee Lake. These are an excellent species for novice anglers, as they are fairly easy to catch. In 2013 and 2014, the provincial fish stocking program added walleye to Kenosee Lake. In 2015, a whopping one million walleye fry topped up the fish population here. Walleye tend to take between three and four years to reach catchable sizes, which means that this year, some of those earlier stockings will be reaching the right size. Kenosee Lake is ideal for both shore fishing and heading out in the boat. The many islands and bays make for good underwater structure and fish habitat. Lake Access From Regina, follow Hwy 1 east to Hwy 48, directly to Moose Mountain Provincial Park. The park offers camping, firewood and concessions, along with a multitude of recreational options."
