Matheson Lake
Matheson Lake is a lake in Meadow Lake Provincial Park, Saskatchewan, Canada. It sits in the boreal forest near the park’s center, north of the Waterhen River, west of Vivian Lake, and south of Peitahigan Lake. Water enters the lake from several small streams and flows out from the southern shore into the Waterhen River, which connects to the Beaver River, Lac Île-à-la-Crosse, and the Churchill River in the Hudson Bay drainage basin.
The lake is reached from Highway 224 and has Matheson Lake Campground in the northeast corner. This first-come, first-served campground has 46 non-electric campsites on a beach about 100 metres long, with a picnic area, a boat launch, and a fish cleaning station. A 7.2-kilometre trail starts near the campground and goes around the lake.
About a mile east of Matheson Lake is Vivian Lake. On the west side of Vivian Lake there are eight non-electric campsites with lake access, and a 2.4-kilometre trail that loops along the lake’s northern shore.
