Pristine lakes, glorious sunrises, and dancing displays of northern lights are but a few of the treasures visitors come to admire in Northern Alberta. We have created a wealth of services and attractions designed especially for visitors and also for residents enjoying a holiday close to home.

Accommodations across our region range from first class hotels, to affordable motels, to charming Bed & Breakfasts, to RV parks with all the amenities, and campgrounds strategically located to ensure you get the best view of our breathtaking scenery.

Once you are settled in it's time to explore! How about horseback riding in Grande Cache's spectacular Smoky River Mountains, cousin to the Rockies. How about jet-boating up Peace River to Alberta's only river access Dude Ranch or to a cabin on a 60-acre island. Let's go over to Fort McMurray's Oil Sands Discovery Center and tour a mine. Or tour through Whitecourt's 10 km² Demonstration Forest to learn about the life of a forest and forest management practices. You might spend a weekend surrounded by the lush forest and sparkling waters of Lakeland Provincial Park, or on the sandy beaches of the Lesser Slave Lake.
 

Our region also offers out-of-the-way unique experiences. Visit the beauty of the Great Canadian Shield on the north shore of Lake Athabasca. Wood Buffalo National Park, the largest wilderness park in Canada, also encompasses the largest freshwater delta in the world. Nearby is the Athabasca Sand Dune Ecological Reserve, which protects the largest active dune field in Alberta.

There is plenty to show off to visiting friends and relatives. This and so much more await you. That's Northern Alberta!
