On the eastern shore is Nickle Lake Regional Park, which is about 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) south-east of Weyburn.

It was built to ensure a stable and reliable source of water for Weyburn as the city grew and to expand Nickle Lake for recreational purposes.

[6] It was named after Albert Douglas, who was the first person born in Briercrest, Saskatchewan, a local farmer, and a Member of Parliament for the Assiniboia riding from 1969 to 1971.

The park has a campground, sandy beach, picnic area, mini golf, and two boat launches for lake access.

[9][10][11] Fish commonly found in Nickle Lake include walleye, perch, northern pike, and burbot.
