Guide to Lakes


This page presents the lakes I’ve paddled by region. Edmonton and area are listed first, then the rest are listed alphabetically. This is not a comprehensive list of lakes, just where we've paddled over the years.

For lakes where a day-trip is possible (i.e., under 2ish hours from Edmonton),  I’ve approximated the drive-time. Each lake is a linked to a detailed post containing an embedded map or link to google maps.
