At the north-western part of Green Lake are campgrounds, outfitters, cabins, and lodges.

A few years later, in 1799, William Auld and the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) set up Essex House on the west side of the lake.

In 1821, the two companies merged and shortly after that, the trading post at Green Lake closed.

[4] Green Lake was at an important juncture along the fur trade route between Fort Carlton at the North Saskatchewan River and the Methye Portage which accessed the Athabasca River system.

The lodge has a campground, rustic cabins, boat rentals, and lake access.

[11] Fish commonly found in Green Lake include walleye, northern pike, and yellow perch.
