Region 7b
Carp Lake C
arp Lake Provincal Park covers more than 48,000 Hectares, tying Carp Lake to the headwaters of the McLeod River. The endless bays and islands offer anglers a new experi- ence each time out.
Rainbow trout can be caught up to six pounds, but catching one or two pounders is more likely. While fly fishers are often advised to match the hatch, the same can be true for gear fishers. Try to choose gear with colours that will match available food sources and your target fish’s food prefer- ences.
PEACE
The adventurous angler can explore smaller lakes within the park. There is a short trail south of Drumlin Bay which leads to Dace, Sucker and Squawfish Lakes. Those seeking an easier alternative can visit Rainbow Lake, a short hike from the main campground. Check the fishing regulations for information about restrictions.
Carp Lake is a large lake and boat- ers can be exposed to high winds and rough water. Remember to bring life jackets and emergency kits.
