Lesser Slave Lake is the largest recreational lake entirely within Alberta Boundaries, covering 1168 square km and measuring over 100 km long and 15 km at its widest point. Lesser Slave Lake averages 11.4 m in depth and is 20.5 m at its deepest. It drains eastwards into the Athabasca River by way of the Lesser Slave River.

The lake is situated in very diverse countryside in the Municipal District of Big Lakes, about 300 km northwest of the city of Edmonton. Highway 2 from Edmonton runs along the southern shore and Highway 88 (formerly Highway 67) skirts the eastern shore. The drive along the southern shore from east to west is spectacular, as one passes through dense woodland and rolling hills, then flat, open prairie. The towns of High Prairie and Slave Lake are the major urban centres in the area....

FISH
Lesser Slave Lake is known as Alberta’s fresh water ocean with sandy beaches, seagulls and clams. The Lake has a reputation for being one of the top Walleye fisheries in North America. Other fish species include Northern Pike, Lake Whitefish and Yellow Perch The fish community of Lesser Slave Lake includes lake whitefish, cisco, mountain whitefish (rare), Arctic grayling (rare), northern pike, burbot, longnose sucker, white sucker, emerald shiner, spottail shiner, trout-perch, brook stickleback (rare), yellow perch, walleye and spoonhead sculpin (rare). Lake trout were abundant in the lake in the early 1900s but were extinct by the early 1940s (Paetz and Zelt 1974).

In the winter months, ice fishing is a popular sport. Fishing huts dot the lake with access from every community along the south shore, Widewater, Canyon Creek, Faust, Kinuso and Joussard.

BIRDS
Lesser Slave Lake has been designated a global Important Bird Area and is a key staging area to thousands of Tundra Swans and Western Grebe as well as more than 220 other species.Two provincial parks, LESSER SLAVE LAKE on its northeast shore and Hilliard's Bay on its northwest, protect sections of its shoreline. Visitors can watch birds being banded at Canada's northernmost migration monitoring facility, the Lesser Slave Lake Bird Observatory. It's about 15 minutes north of the lake on Highway 88 and is Canada's northern-most migration monitoring facility.

Kinuso

Kinuso was originally called Swan River, but was renamed Kinuso, which is a Cree word for fish. Poplar point Point is 5.5 miles from Hamlet of Kinuso.

The Hamlet of Kinuso has an approximate population of 250 people and is the closest community service center to Poplar Point. Established in 1914 as the Townsite of Swan River by the Dunvegan Railway, this Northern Alberta community became incorporated as the Village of Kinuso in 1949. From 1949 through to 2009 the Village of Kinuso developed into today's size and the Regional Service Center for approximately 2500 people within a 20 km radius. Due to financial hardship, in 2009 the Village of Kinuso went through dissolution and became a Hamlet within the Municipal District of Big Lakes. The Hamlet of Kinuso has a rare historical feature of one of the last standing grain elevators that was declared a Historical Building.

Kinuso is approximately six blocks wide, east to west; and approximately five blocks long, south to north. Kinuso has many viable and tourist welcoming businesses open and servicing community residents and seasonal summer visitors and guests. There is a grocery store that offers a large variety of items: fresh produce, dairy, groceries, meat department and a liquor outlet. The Mercantile sells just about anything from clothing, hardware supplies, furniture, sporting supplies and just about everything between. There is a service station in town with a licenced mechanic. They also offer complete tire and propane services. A Treasury Branch Agency and Canada Post Office are both located on Main Street. Kinuso also offers a bar, hotel, and numerous small restaurants.

A stop at the Kinusayo Musuem is a must. The museum features a fascinating taxidermy display of fish, birds, and wild animals including a record-sized mounted grizzly bear. Kinuso has a rare historical feature of one of the last standing grain elevators that was declared a Historical Building. In 2008 Sloco and Zanny McRee donated the UGG grain elevator they purchased in 1974 from the United Grain Growers to the Kinusayo Museum. Everything was in running order and it is the last grain elevator in Alberta with the original UGG logo.
