L
ocated on the largest lake in Grass
River Provincial Park, Reed Lake
campground is well known to anglers
for its lake trout, pike and walleye
opportunities. Reed Lake was an
important link in the historic Upper
Track fur trade route of the late 1700’s
when competition between the Hudson
Bay Company and the North West
Company was fierce. Both trading
groups had posts or “houses” on Reed
Lake in the 1790’s. Famed map-maker
and surveyor, David Thompson,
wintered here in 1794. Later fur traders
set up store on Bartlett's Point.
Reed Lake had an active copper-zinc
mine on its south shore until the mid
1990's, when it ceased production.
Prospecting and claim staking are still
common activities in the area.
The islands of Reed Lake have provided
excellent calving sites for the woodland
caribou herds of the park. Lucky
visitors may catch a glimpse of these
seldom seen creatures on or near the
islands in spring. The islands also
provide welcome shelter for canoeists
crossing Reed's big water on the Grass
River canoe route.
The campground offers large level sites,
basic services, a solar shower and a solar
powered water treatment plant. A boat
launch, horse shoe pits and a small
playground are yours to use when you
visit.
Reed Lake Campground is located 39
kilometers northeast from the junction
of Provincial Trunk Highway 39 and
Provincial Trunk Highway 10.
