Young's Point Provincial Park is located on the northern shore of the lake, and Williamson Provincial Park lies on the southern shore. The arbour is where the ceremonial dances of the Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation are performed. Just near Williamson Provincial Park is the Sturgeon Lake Campground. The complete FSI spatial data layers can be viewed and downloaded in: Please note that the Lake Sturgeon FSI assessment will be displayed in FWMIT at a watershed-scale, but Lake Sturgeon are primarily a mainstem river species.
A living "dinosaur" of the fish world, this unusual species is torpedo-shaped and armor-plated.
Better sewage treatment by towns and cities, and catch-and-release angling have been key to bringing this species back from the brink.
Lake Sturgeon are very long-lived (perhaps over 100 years) and consequently can be easily overfished.
It is located in the hydrographic basin of the Little Smoky River at an elevation of 685 m, 20 km west of the town of Valleyview, along Highway 43. COVID-19: Alberta is in Stage 2 of relaunch.

Although great improvements have been made to Alberta's river water quality, increasing urbanization, agricultural, and industrial development must be carefully managed to avoid the mistakes of the past. 1. The largest one to be caught on record weight 105 pounds and was 155 centimetres (61 inches) long. Sturgeon Lake[2] is a lake in north-western Alberta, Canada. We must protect the rights of our people according to the treaty, while ensuring a vibrant and resilient community.
Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation knows that our strength lies not only in the words we stand by, but most importantly through the actions of our initiatives. The fish uses its elongated, spade-like snout to stir up the substrate and sediments on the beds of rivers and lakes while … Healthy rivers and careful angling practices will continue to be necessary to maintain their recovery. Sturgeon Lake, Alberta Located 15 km west of Valleyview Alberta, is Sturgeon Lake.

Lake sturgeon are the largest freshwater fish species in the northern hemisphere, according to the government of Alberta’s website. Managing the potential effects of overfishing will continue to rely on Alberta anglers for monitoring data and their cautious use of catch-and-release fishing practices. Our success as a Nation is due to our culture, language and by working together we will overcome our challenges much more efficiently in a constantly changing environment. 2. Sturgeon Lake is a lake in north-western Alberta, Canada. Over 150 bird species nest in or visit this area. Stocked lake populations are denoted with a circle. Overfishing and poor river water quality in the past century are believed to have caused severe declines, nearly eliminating the North Saskatchewan River sturgeon. Find out how. Since 1990, Fish and Wildlife staff and volunteer anglers have been effectively and consistently monitoring the North Saskatchewan River sturgeon population. The 2013 Alberta Fish Sustainability Index (FSI) assessment confirmed these conservation designations.
The campground is also the site of a giant teepee with beautiful artwork emblazoned on its sides. Lake Sturgeon in Alberta are ranked as Threatened under the provincial Wildlife Act, and as Endangered by the national Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC 2006).
The Sturgeon Lake First Nations reserve of the Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation is established on the southern shore.
These studies will continue to serve as excellent examples of biologists and anglers working together to conserve Alberta's fishes. Inquires for Chief and Council Members please call 780 524 3307, Chief and Council Memorandum COVID-19 Update. The Fish Sustainability Index (FSI) uses both scientific and local knowledge to assess the health of lake sturgeon in Alberta.
Sturgeon lake offers a variety of recreations opportunities. We must protect the rights of our people according to the treaty, while ensuring a vibrant and resilient community. The hamlet of Sturgeon Heights is located at the western tip of the lake. The lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens), also known as the rock sturgeon, is a North American temperate freshwater fish, one of about 25 species of sturgeon. Despite the name, the lake doesn't host any Sturgeon fish.[1]. The population in the South Saskatchewan River system is in somewhat better condition (particularly in the mainstem South Saskatchewan River), but numbers and distribution of both adults and young sturgeon are well below desired levels and sustainability remains at risk. Historically, Lake Sturgeon were believed to be abundant in the South Saskatchewan River, Oldman River downstream of Fort Macleod, Bow River downstream of Bassano, Red Deer River downstream of Innisfail, and North Saskatchewan River downstream of Drayton Valley.
Dams and changes to flows in rivers can further isolate and threaten the sustainability of Alberta's Lake Sturgeon. 3. Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation knows that our strength lies not only in the words we stand by, but most importantly through the actions of our initiatives.

Sturgeon Lake Campground is a co-operative effort between M. Isley Enterprises Inc. and the Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation. The waters of the lake are drained into the Little Smoky River through the 28 km (17 mi) long Sturgeon Creek. It has been recently revitalized with all new washroom facilities, 50 power and water sites, 54 non-serviced sites, a group campsite, a brand new store and a playground for the kids.

It has a total area of 49.1 km (19.0 sq mi) and a maximum depth of 9.5 m (31 ft). In summary, Lake Sturgeon are increasing from the critically low population levels of the past century, but are still in low numbers with few older adults. Continue acting safely to prevent the spread while supporting Alberta businesses. The registered population of the band is 3,064, of those 1,407 are on the band's own reserves.
