Welcome to Valens Lake Conservation Area, a 300-hectare paradise for lovers of the outdoors. Nestled within the splendid pine and spruce forest Valens Lake has over 220 campsites -- 110 sites with hydro and water. An additional 10 sites are available for group camping. The campground is open for camping in any season. Valens Lake also offers some of the best fishing around. Take on the monster northern pike, largemouth bass and panfish lurking beneath the surface of the lake. You can fish from boats, from the fishing bridge, and from piers located around the lake. Any summer day, swimmers and sunbathers can enjoy the sandy beach, and natural swimming area.  Please note that our natural swimming area is not supervised and do not have lifeguards on duty.
