Makwa Lake Provincial Park[1] is a recreational provincial park in the west-central region of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan in the transition zone between parkland and boreal forest. The park was established in 1986 and is centred around the lakes of Big Jumbo, Little Jumbo, and Makwa. Prior to its establishment, the park was a provincial recreation site.[2] The main entrance to Makwa Lake Park is at the south-east corner of Makwa Lake about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) west of the village of Loon Lake. Access is from Highway 699.
Makwa Lake Provincial Park is split into two sections, one on the north-eastern shore of Makwa Lake and the other covering most of the southern half of Big Jumbo and Little Jumbo Lakes. The section of park on Makwa Lake is accessed from Highway 26 and has the source of the Makwa River and Makwa Lake Control dam but has few other amenities or attractions. The section around the Jumbo Lakes has campgrounds, hiking trails, picnic areas, beaches, boat launches, and a golf course.[3] There are a total of five lakes within the park's boundaries.
