Shunda Lake

a.k.a. Fish Lake

Where stillness and adventure meet, Shunda Lake—affectionately known as Fish Lake—offers a vibrant mix of quiet wilderness and lively family fun. Just minutes from Nordegg, surrounded by lush evergreens and framed by the forested slopes of The Bighorn, this beloved spot invites both relaxation and connection.

At the north end, the Day Use Area comes alive on warm days, with families gathering for picnics, swimming, and sun-soaked afternoons by the lakeshore.

Hikers can enjoy a stroll along the scenic lakeside loop, while the Firesmart Ecology Trails offer a large network of developed bike trails to explore.

The Lake’s changing moods—peaceful mornings, bustling afternoons, and golden evenings—capture the true spirit of Alberta’s outdoor culture. Whether you seek the simplicity of a quiet paddle or the joyful energy of a beach day with loved ones, Shunda Lake welcomes you to experience nature’s beauty at your own pace.
