Local Attractions

While in the County of Smoky Lake take advantage of the many opportunities in the area: 

  • Visit the expanded Métis Crossing and enjoy a meal in their new facility overlooking the North Saskatchewan River. Métis Crossing is now home to a herd of rare white bison. The revered animal, known as “bufloo” in Michif, which is the language of the Métis people, have not roamed the area since 1865. White bison have long been honoured by First Nations and Métis peoples, and they return to these traditional lands alongside woods bison, plains bison, elk, white elk and Percheron horses. Their return marks the establishment of the new Visions, Hopes, and Dreams Métis Crossing Wildlife Park.
  • Take a drive to see the Victoria Settlement Provincial Historic Site and learn about its history. Catch a glimpse of a fascinating period of Alberta's past and choose your own family-friendly experience. Costumed interpreters bring the history of Victoria Settlement to life with engaging activities and diverse tours through 2 restored buildings nestled in scenic park land.  https://victoriasettlement.ca/

Booker beware

The sites as advertised by this RV resort on this site do not exist. This area of the resort has not yet been developed. After we arrived and discovered that, couldn't find any staff or management to help us on site, we then left for another site. Turned into an expensive weekend of camping after already paying for a site that doesn't exist at Northern Lights! Management claims they are willing to put people in alternative sites in the membership/seasonal site area, but if that was the case there should have been proactive communication with us about that before our arrival.

Courtesy camping rules apply.
