History
The First Girl Guide camps were held
at Little Sandy Lake in 1960. This sandy lake was aptly renamed “Heritage
Lake” in 1966 which commemorated Canada’s Centennial Year, 1967, during
which a National Heritage Camp was held at this beautiful wilderness site.

Heritage Lake is 20 km north of Candle
Lake Junction and then another 10 km north on Hwy 913.

Activities
Heritage Lake is a great place to go
canoeing, especially in the calm of early mornings or go swimming in the
clear water. You will love the feel of the soft beach sand between your
toes. Try some water polo, build an outdoor campfire or go on an overnight
canoe / hiking trip. We encourage wilderness stewardship and self-planned
Girl Guide programs. There is also a no-trace camping area located on
the
north shore of the lake. Don't forget the sunsets - they are absolutely
beautiful! |
