Zed Lake Provincial Park is a provincial park in Manitoba, Canada, established in 1961. It is 12.07sortable=onNaNsortable=on in size. The park is located on the east shore of the eponymous lake, about 27km (17miles) north of Lynn Lake on PR 394.[2] [1] The park has 25 cottage lots, a campground, a boat launch and a beach.[3]
Zed Lake is part of the Churchill River watershed, lying between Vandekerckhove Lake and Goldsand Lake.[4] Jack pine and black spruce grow in open stands with a ground cover of lichens.[2] The park is within the Churchill River Upland ecoregion of the Boreal Shield ecozone.[2] Zed Lake greywacke is found to the east and the south of the lake. Its presence is an indication of an ancient ocean that existed approximately 1.88 billion years ago.[5]
