**Due to the nature of difficulty regarding access on backcountry lakes, launch access areas are restricted to small watercraft only. SVSFE is working with partners to make minor improvements to the boat launch and development is designed to facilitate small boats.
Access
Located 72.2 km from Swan River, MB off of Highway 83 in the Duck Mountain Provincial Forest. The distance from trailhead to West Watjask Lake is ~8.5 km. A portion of the access road is Designated Route S and is often accessible by four-wheel drive vehicles as it can be muddy during wet periods. Lake access is either by truck/ATV in the summer or snowmobile in the winter. This road is not regularly maintained and a well established logging road. Use caution when travelling and be sure to contact the nearest government office for updated information before using this road.
