Wabamun Lake Provincial Park

Wabamun Lake Provincial Park is a natural recreation area on a lake in Alberta with multiple camping areas and trails for walking. The grounds feature boardwalk paths, designated swim zones, and facilities for day visitors and overnight guests.

The lake served as a vital food source for Indigenous peoples who settled along its shores in earlier times. European arrival brought significant changes to how the land and water were used and occupied.

The park hosts educational programs about local wildlife and bird migration patterns that visitors can join throughout the year. These sessions help people connect with the natural rhythms of the lake and its inhabitants.

The location sits west of Edmonton and provides water stations, restrooms, fire pits, and changing facilities for guests. Both day visitors and those staying overnight will find the amenities accessible and well-distributed throughout the grounds.

Nearby power plants keep the water ice-free year-round, creating an unusual habitat that attracts raptors like ospreys and bald eagles. This condition lets birdwatchers observe these species in seasons when they normally migrate elsewhere.
