Honestly, if you are looking for a real quality lake weekend, your going to need to leave the province. The shushwaps and Mara lake are about 5 1/2 hours away. Beyond that, okanogan is about another hour and you can take your choice of wonderful beaches along Vernon, Kelowna and BC.
Alternatively, 5-6 hours south is Whitefish, which is another great spot. Border can be a nightmare, but it is tons of fun.
If your set on Alberta, options are limited, sylvan, pigeon lake, Alberta beach, they range in the 1.5/2/4 hours respectively...none are that great.
