Historic Dunvegan

The Historic Dunvegan is a beautiful site with one of Alberta’s greatest bridges. The bridge itself is a fantastic structure that overlooks the Peace River.

A day camp area offers space for families to have picnics and enjoy some leisure activities.

The museum part of the site is housed in over eight buildings, and exhibits feature a vintage car collection, vintage artifacts, and traps, furs, and snowshoes nestled within a trapper’s cabin setting.

Figure Eight Lake

Figure Eight Lake Provincial Recreation Area is located in the nearby County of Northern Lights.

Figure Eight Lake takes its name from the shape it had before 1970 when the water level was low; in these earlier days, the lake had two basins and resembled a figure eight.

It drains through a weir south to Lac Cardinal that was raised to create the lake. The lake is stocked annually with rainbow trout. Because of the lake’s small size, gas-powered motors are not allowed on the lake.

Pizza Haven

Pizza Haven is an authentic pizza parlour that has been a staple in the Fairview community for over thirty years. Established in 1978 by Ken and Teena Smith and re-opened in 1993 after a fire destroyed the building, Pizza Haven has been one of Fairview’s only family restaurants that have stood the test of time. The owners credit their success to consistently and quality food and service.

Home of the famous pizza bread, the restaurant also offers soups & salads, appetizers and snacks, sandwiches, grilled items, pasta, entrees, combos, small orders, beverages, and most importantly, pizza. Favourites in the community are the pizza bread, the Ed Burger, lasagna, and Meat Lovers Pizza. If you’re in the area and hungry, this is the restaurant for you.

The Butter Chicken Co. Fairview

The Butter Chicken Co. Fairview is a favourite among locals but is also a favourite for many in the province.

On the outside, appearances are simply but tidy. However, once inside, you will find an excellent quiet soundtrack and a cool, calm atmosphere. Elegant looking, with a nice amount of booths/chair tables. Fast, friendly service with my food coming out soon after ordered, not a long wait. which is surprising considering the restaurant is usually quite busy.

Once you dig in and taste the delicious meals, plenty of which are authentic Indian cuisine (curries with local meats) with their butter chicken being renowned and the most popular dish. Everything is reasonably priced, and the restaurant has a near-perfect score on both Facebook and Google.
