Provincial Parks & Wildlands

Boreal beauty at its purest.

Vast sun-speckled waters and undisturbed expanses of white sand beaches make Lesser Slave Lake Provincial Park one of Alberta's most coveted summer destinations. Just 2.5 hours north of Edmonton, the largest auto accessible lake in the province features resorts, campgrounds and marinas dotted along its shores.

The town of Slave Lake anchors the southeast corner and has everything you need for your stay. Cycle, paddle, swim, fish and watch for wildlife. Hike up to Marten Mountain Viewpoint for a spectacular overlook of the lake. The Trans-Canada Trail runs the length of the lake shore and is used year round for hiking and cross-country skiing.
BE BEAR SMART. REMEMBER, WHEN YOU’RE EXPLORING LESSER SLAVE LAKE PROVINCIAL PARK, YOU ARE IN BEAR COUNTRY. BOTH BLACK AND GRIZZLY BEARS CAN BE FOUND IN THE PARK.
The entire north shore of the lake is protected, other reserves being Hilliard's Bay Provincial Park, Lesser Slave Lake Wildland and Grouard Trail Park Reserve.
