Pike Lake Provincial Park[1] is a recreational park located approximately 32 kilometres (20 mi) south-west of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Established in 1960, it is operated under the Government of Saskatchewan's Ministry of Parks, Culture, and Sport. It is located at the southern terminus of Highway 60 on the shore of Pike Lake,[2] an oxbow lake created by the South Saskatchewan River. The Pike Lake area is part of the aspen parkland biome and trees found around the park include aspen, ash, and birch.[3]
Several small residential subdivisions are located within the park on the west side of the lake and there is an unincorporated rural residential community immediately adjacent to the northern park gates of the park named Pike Lake. The Pike Lake community includes a school and a recreation centre. Other nearby communities include Delisle and Vanscoy.[4]
