Skeleton Lake is a local and regional focal point for water-based recreation, and offers great fishing in all seasons. The lake is popular for pike, perch and walleye. Angler’s Atlas member thejordanforsythe reports that the walleye fishing is good in Skeleton Lake, and has posted a photo of a fish caught while fishing from a kayak. Other members have posted some great map markers. In particular, the bay at the north end of the lake can be very productive. See these posts and more at anglersatlas.com/place/102046/skeleton-lake. Please note that walleye must be released. The lake also has burbot and lake whitefish. The fishery is closed from April 1 to May 14th. From May 15 to Mar. 31, Walleye limit is 0; Pike limit is 1 over 63cm; Perch limit is 15; Lake Whitefish limit is 10; and the Burbot limit is 10. The lake’s Cree name is a translation of a Cree phrase which means “place of the skeletons.” A Cree chief is said to be buried along the shores of the lake. LAKE ACCESS Skeleton Lake is located in the County of Athabasca, 160 km northeast of Edmonton and 6.5 km northeast of the village of Boyle. From Edmonton, take Hwy. 28 northeast to Hwy. 63.
