Frequently Asked Questions

Why do this instead of a Calgary or Edmonton city day?

It's a slower-paced, small-town side of Alberta — river valley trails and a lake beach rather than downtown sights — and it's the one route we know better than anyone, since it's where we actually live.

What's the best season for this trip?

Summer, for the Sylvan Lake beach and boardwalk — Waskasoo Park's trails are pleasant spring through fall.

Is swimming or beach time built in?

There's free time at Sylvan Lake's beach, but swimming and any rentals are on your own.
