Athabasca Golf and Country Club

This gem is a delight for anyone from a beginner to a professional golfer. Set amidst the beauty of the boreal forest in the Athabasca River valley, this challenging yet fun 18-hole layout is a true testament to humans working alongside nature to create a visually stunning and unobtrusive test of golf.

Along with the fantastic course conditions, you’ll find an upscale restaurant in the clubhouse and a well-stocked pro shop with knowledgeable staff to help you make those important decisions on the latest golf gear you must have.

Crow Lake Provincial Park

This beautiful northern lake is perfect for animal watching from a canoe, kayak, or other paddle equipment as Crow Lake Provincial Park is adjacent to the Crow Lake Ecological Reserve.

Steep valley sides are forested with mixed stands of white spruce and aspen with some balsam fir. Parts of the area have escaped fire for a long time, so some of the spruce is more than 150 years old. Bald eagle nests have been found along the lake’s shores.

It is a lovely area. Lots of grass, a play area with a park for children, and a beach area that is roped off for swimming. It’s an excellent area for family activities.
