Redberry Lake[1] is a lake near Hafford in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It is a medium-sized saline lake within an area characterized by mostly freshwater aquatic environments. The lake makes up the core protected area of the Redberry Lake (UNESCO) Biosphere Reserve, and is a federal bird sanctuary of the same name. It is an Important Bird Area (IBA) of Canada[2] designated as Redberry Lake (SK 005).[3] A small regional park is situated at the north-west corner of the lake. The countryside surrounding Redberry Lake is typical of the aspen parkland biome of which it is a part.[4]
Redberry Lake Regional Park
Redberry Lake Regional Park (52°42′43″N 107°13′01″W / 52.7120°N 107.217°W)[5] offers camping, golfing, swimming, hiking, boating, and many bird watching opportunities. Although there are no sport fish in the lake itself, the park has installed a small earthen dam on a creek which flows into the lake, creating a freshwater trout pond.[6][7]
The golf course, built in 1971, is a 9-hole, par 35 course. It has sand greens and 2,304 yards.[8]
