Madge Lake is the largest lake within Duck Mountain Provincial Park in southern Saskatchewan, situated approximately 76 kilometres northeast of Yorkton and 20 kilometres east of Kamsack. Highway 57 runs along the south shore, providing straightforward road access to the lake and its facilities.

The lake is spring-fed and notable for its rust-tinted water, a characteristic that has been confirmed as safe. The forested shoreline and surrounding boreal landscape give the lake a distinctly wooded character, with green reeds along portions of the shore. A suspension bridge crosses part of the lake, and boats passing beneath it need to navigate through the middle to clear it. There is also at least one island in the middle of the lake, which has been noted as a destination reachable by canoe.

Pickerel Point Marina, located at the south tip of the Pickerel Point Campground off Highway 57, serves as the primary hub for paddlers. The marina offers kayak and paddleboard rentals, a private boat launch, boat slips, premium gasoline, ice, bait, and a small selection of convenience items. Pontoon and fishing boat rentals are also available. Life jackets are available at the main beach area for visitors who arrive without them.

The lake supports walleye, northern pike, white sucker, and yellow perch, with walleye periodically stocked. A custom catch limit applies to walleye on the lake. The surrounding park offers over 300 campsites across multiple campgrounds, including Pickerel Point Campground and Selwood Campground, making multi-day paddling trips logistically straightforward. A biking and hiking trail forming part of the Trans Canada Trail runs along the southern shore of the lake, connecting the campground to the main beach area and continuing into wilderness trails to the northwest.

Summer is clearly the primary paddling season, with the beach and water activities drawing significant crowds on warm days. The park also sees winter visitors, though paddling is a warm-season activity here. Those planning to paddle to the island in the middle of the lake should be aware it requires a canoe or similar vessel. A valid vehicle entry permit is required for all vehicles entering Duck Mountain Provincial Park.
