Fishing wise, I'm a big fan of Palliser Regional. Arguably the best beaches in the province. The trees aren't as thick as Douglas, but there are half a dozen excellent coulees on either side of the lake within a 10 minute boat ride full of decent walleye and many more 15 minutes out. Also there is a pool for the kids, a decent concession, and a terrific boat launch and marina with fuel. The golf course isn't too bad either. A 5 minute drive to riverhurst for gas and odds and ends, and 15 minutes to central butte which has everything else you may need. I will admit, my 10.5 lbs walleye was caught across from Douglas in the big fill before they wrecked it a couple years back.
