Just received a call from the Parks Dept. They've changed their minds and "will not be restricting camping at Swan Lake this summer after all". I guess calls and emails do make a difference!!

I stopped in at Swan Lake today and I can verify that "yes" camping is allowed but for a decent campground I would sugest staying at Young's Point Provincial Park on the west end of Sturgeon Lake....a 20 minute drive.

Just returned from Swan this afternoon - we found out about Swan still allowing overnight camping a couple days ago when we called Youngs Point from Figure of Eight - the gal at Youngs point said why not just stay at Swan - then laughed when we said that we heard it was closed to overnight camping.
There are some acreages up for sale there now, and there is actually a fair bit of work going on - gravel being laid in the parking lot and the road into swan, as well as on the path into the 'sites' in the bush, north of the parking lot. Today there were a couple guys upgrading the fish cleaning stand, and there's a big bear proof garbage can there now as well. Seems like a lot of work going on around there. |
