Devonshire Beach

Devonshire Beach is a 1.5-km-long (1 mi) natural sand beach inside Lesser Slave Lake Provincial Park. Lesser Slave Lake is the second-largest lake in Alberta, stretching more than 100 km (60 mi) long and 15 km (9 mi) across at its widest point. Sections of the beach are groomed to clear them of willows, driftwood, and stones. Access these from the Devonshire Beach South and Devonshire Beach North parking lots. A wheelchair-accessible viewing platform at Devonshire North is a great vantage point. A ramp leading off the platform makes going down to the beach easy. You can even borrow a beach wheelchair from the nearby Marten River Campground. The area remains popular in winter for walking and cross-country skiing. An enclosed picnic shelter in the Devonshire Day Use Area at the south end is available to help you take the chill off, all winter long.
