Badge of Awesome Communities invites you to share your favourite things to see and do in cool destinations around the world. We caught up with the folks from Waters Edge Eco Lodge — one of our featured attractions from Saskatchewan — to learn about what they have to offer.

What makes Waters Edge Eco Lodge awesome?

Waters Edge: Rejuvenation, adventure, exploration and enjoyment set in nature’s beauty await you at Waters Edge Eco Lodge! Escape the hectic pace of day to day life to relax and just take the time to enjoy the natural beauty of the Meadow Lake Provincial Park with its expansive Boreal forest and pristine freshwater lakes.

We are open All Season and provide accommodation, event venues and catering while striving to practice environmental sustainability. Whether you find yourself basking in the sun of Summer while floating on the lake, marveling at the colors of Autumn, surrounded by soft fluffy snowflakes of Winter or feeling the first warmth of Spring on your skin, we are sure your time with us in any season will enrich and rejuvenate your body and soul within the artistry of Nature.

Waters Edge Eco Lodge consists of an elegant yet rustic lodge open year-round featuring 8 lakefront guest rooms with private decks, breakfast daily and fantastic indoor and outdoor common areas including a wood fireplace and screened in deck. We also provide complimentary use of our canoes, kayaks, paddle boat, paddle boards and adult sized life jackets during your stay and in the Winter we provide snow shoes.

The Lodge also includes an events venue on the 2nd level with 7 windows and a private deck overlooking the lake making it a wonderful location for business conferences, retreats, festive parties or intimate winter weddings.

Seasonally from mid May to October we also offer 3 self contained lakefront rental cottages with screened in decks and complimentary use of sporting equipment. Also offered seasonally is our unique outdoor lakeside event venue. This venue is a wooden stage with pillars to support an open beam roof designed to consider the unpredictability of the weather. Without walls this venue is an extension of the natural surroundings but has curtains that can be closed to keep out unwanted elements. Also included with this venue are 3 uniquely designed outdoor washrooms and a concession. It provides a great location for weddings, parties and retreats.

We are also pleased to offer catering for events. Meals are made from scratch with quality ingredients and fresh produce, which may include organic vegetables &/or berries from our on-site organic garden. Nature is extremely important to us and as such we have incorporated into our design, construction and operations sustainable ecological practices to do what we can to protect our planet.

Being situated in the forest nestled along the large, clean and clear freshwater lake named Greig Lake we are fortunate to have a location that is very quiet and peaceful. We encourage guests “to unplug” and enjoy all Nature has to offer by hiking our trails, observing the local wildlife and plant life, floating on the water, gazing at the starry sky with Northern Lights, listening to the wild call of loons echoing across the lake, lazily swaying in a hammock, embracing Winter with its breathtaking beauty or watching the majesty of the sun rising over the lake, we know Nature will reenergize you.

Waters Edge Eco Lodge is a small family run operation created to provide a unique environment ensuring guests have an enriching experience surrounded by Nature. If this speaks to you, we would be delighted to welcome you to stay with us at the water’s edge.
