About Aspen Beach Provincial Park

There are no laws prohibiting the use of metal detectors in the public areas of provincial parks as long as the activity isn’t interfering with the enjoyment of the other park visitors, breaking any of our other regulations, or in any way threatening any of the wildlife in the park.

Metal detectors can be used in the province’s parks, provided that:

They are only used on beaches and similar disturbed areas (where digging will not affect the natural ecosystem/habitat). In disturbed areas that are being excavated under a research permit, these areas are closed-off from the public to prevent recreational digging
No historic resources are damaged or removed
No items are removed from the park
All items of value (historical or monetary) are turned over to the local park office
They are used for recreation and not for commercial purposes
Their use doesn’t violate other laws, such as interfering with a person’s quiet enjoyment in the park. People operating metal detectors are encouraged to use an earpiece/headphones to reduce the likelihood of the noise disturbing others.

As in the case of other park users, a person can expect to encounter officers who will inquire about the activities being conducted and require them to identify themselves and their occupation.

In order to dig for historical resources, a person requires an excavation permit issued by the Parks Division under the Historical Resources Act; this permit is associated with archeological or paleontological research permit. In some locations the excavated items are likely to remain in the park for research and storage; in situations where an excavated item is to be removed from the park, a collection permit is required.

D	Darryl S on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great beach, fun for a day out and a good place to swim. It’s shallow for a long way out, but keep going and it gets swimming deep.
L	Lawson Hutchinson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fall finds this beach empty and a great walk watching the swans and geese land ,dear wslking around
R	Rumana Afroz Sultana on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great beach and the water was amazing! The water wasn’t cold like other lakes add as well as not deep. we did fishing as well. Amazing weekend spent but their regular washrooms are closed due to covid although they do have mobile washroom! There was a small grocery store available. Road was nice. Highly recommended for camping or a day trip. Not too crowded as well. So many birds and natural beauty at its best! Will go again soon. Perfect place to do bbq!!!
S	Street_Biologist on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We visited Aspen Beach Provincial Park and Gull Lake for the first time. We enjoyed our stay at the lake. The park campsites were quite full. We really liked the fact that the park was quite well maintained.
J	Jody Smith on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice long beach, clean sand, shallow water so boats can't get too close and children wont drown. Nice grassy area for picnic and relaxing or sun bathing or games. Cons: outhouses, windy, seagulls.
N	Neha Ashani on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing location, it is 20mins drive from sylvan lake. Not many ppl, clean washrooms, ample space for camping and Amazing views. It is a shallow beach so ideal for kids as well. Will definitely go again.
D	Danelle Wright on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's October 1, 2021 and you are unable to park at the nearby beach (with tons of parking spots) so that's a bit annoying. You have to walk about 300 metres from the more distant parking lot. The lake is very shallow and the beach isn't in good shape but likely as it's off season it hasn't been maintained. The main playground is fairly new, quite large and really fun as it's all connected with lots of slides, bridges, climbing bars, etc. It's certainly a beautiful place for an Autumn walk or picnic.
