Buck Lake, a quiet lake surrounded by the rolling hills of Wetaskawin near Drayton Valley, is known among anglers for its abundant walleye, northern pike, good-sized perch and lake whitefish. Buck is a good spot for families, offering kid-friendly fishing. Early morning fishing in May and June is reported to be especially productive. Buck Lake is far enough off the beaten path that you can expect a quiet day in a beautiful part of the province. The lake can undergo algae blooms in middle to late summer. LAKE ACCESS Buck Lake is located southwest of Edmonton. Follow Hwy. 2 south to Hwy. 13. Turn right and follow this road for about 62 km to where the southeast shore of the lake meets the highway. There are two recreation areas on this lake: Buck Lake Recreation Area along the southeastern shore and Calhoun Bay Recreation Area along the northwest shore. Both have campsites and a boat launch. Buck Lake is the best equipped, providing boat launches, a fish-cleaning station, camping, firepits, firewood and water. Calhoun Bay is an unserviced recreation site. Campers should bring their own drinking water.
