Echo Valley Provincial Park is located in between two lakes that are part of the Qu’Appelle River. Pasqua Lake is on the west side of highway 210, and offers a great beach experience in the beautiful Echo Valley. The public beach area is comprised of coarse sand mixed with rocks and pebbles. The lake bottom has a similar composition, and the water is very clear with no evidence of weeds in the water or washed up on the shoreline. The beach is long, and on the south end there are public boat launch facilities. The shoreline between the beach and the boat launch is a mix of chunks of pavement and sand. There is a designated swimming area marked by buoys, and all swimming is unsupervised. No pets on the beach.

Access to the beach is via Highway 210, which runs between Pasqua Lake and Echo Lake. There are large paved parking lots for the boat launch as well as for the beach. The beach is accessible via a short walk through the park from either lot.

The view from the beach is of the gorgeous Echo Valley on all sides, making this a beautiful place to relax! The beach backs onto a grassy park with several trees and shrubs throughout. There are washroom facilities nearby and seating is available on benches or picnic tables throughout the park. The park also features a beach volleyball court, and a mini-golf course and store are nearby as well. Pasqua Lake is surrounded by several Provincial Park campgrounds for those interested in staying overnight.
