Tillicum Beach Campground is operated by Camrose County. It has seven sites and a first-come, first-served reservation system. More information below on this page.

Driedmeat Lake is famous for angling for northern pike in summer and for ice-fishing in winter. Other species in the lake include longnose dace, lake chub, emerald shiner, spot tail shiner, white sucker and brook stickleback. The beach area has all the necessary amenities for a day trip or camping, including a boat launch. Every January, a family fishing derby is organized by Battle River Reelers. More information on fishing spots in Camrose County you can find HERE.

The maximum depth of the lake is 3.7 meters so you won’t have to maneuverer your canoe over beaver dams or shallows even late into summer. It's an ideal spot for novice paddlers as the dam created stable water levels. Motorboating is also permitted, so be prepared for waves. The lake is naturally nutrient-rich and gets additional nutrient loads so algae blooms are common in the summer. Some types, such as blue-green algae are dangerous if ingested and should be avoided.

The lake is an important staging ground for migratory birds such as snow geese and swans. These birds are protected by the Restricted Wildlife Area designation on the lake until November 1st of each year. In the summer, massive White Pelicans swoop overhead in flocks of up to 50. Bald eagles are a common sight around the lake, feeding on northern pike and other fish that are also the target of people fishing. Also, you can see many waterfowl, including Double-Crested Cormorants and Songbirds in the aspen forests.

Just north of Tillicum Beach, a small side road off of Paradise Drive leads to this natural freshwater spring. It flows year-round thanks to the surrounding rock formations. The county does not test or treat the water and is not responsible for any health issues associated with its use. Check Digital Tourism Map to find its location.
