Devonshire Beach is a 1.5-km-long (1 mi) natural beach on the shore of Lesser Slave Lake. Despite its name, Lesser Slave Lake is the second-largest lake in Alberta. It stretches more than 100 km (60 mi) and is 15 km (9 mi) across at its widest point. Devonshire Beach is an excellent place to take it all in. A wheelchair-accessible viewing platform at the north end of the beach is a great vantage point. A ramp leading off the platform makes it going down to the beach easy. (You can even borrow a beach wheelchair from the nearby Marten River Campground.) There is ample day-use parking at either end of the beach, so you’ll have no trouble getting your blankets and beach toys onto the sand. The area remains popular in winter for walking and cross-country skiing. A warm-up shelter in the parking lot is available to help you take the chill off all winter long.
