RED DEER

RED DEER COUNTY

Today Red Deer is the third largest city in Alberta, but no matter how big we grow we’ve still maintained our small town charm.

Whatever your reason for coming to our region, you can rest assured that when you get here, you will be well taken care of.

Red Deer County is an escape from the pace of city life.

The best part is that our campgrounds, fishing, ski areas, and golf courses are only a short drive away from Alberta’s two largest cities.

Young and Active

In addition to the multitude of outdoor adventures, our museums, galleries, craft shops and festivals make Red Deer County a favourite among travellers.

When you’re in the Red Deer region it’s easy to connect with nature and stay active, because hiking, cycling, boating, jogging, skiing and walking spaces are right in your backyard.

You’ll enjoy our trails and appreciate our nature-loving ways.

Red Deer County’s rolling scenery provides beautiful views of our many rivers, lakes and valleys. Spend the day on a working farm or cruising down the slopes of Canyon Ski Resort.

A Winning Combination Great facilities, a central location, enthusiastic volunteers and abundant high quality accommodations makes Red Deer an ideal host city for sporting events of all sizes.

Red Deer has much to offer organizers of small and large sporting events, and as we gear up for the Canada Winter Games in 2019, there’s one thing we know for sure: our winning combination is going to get even better.

Most Accommodating Need a place to stay? Look no further. Whether you arrive in Red Deer tired and rumpled from a long day of travelling or energized and ready for a new adventure, you’re sure to find the ideal accommodations to suit your needs.

All About Family There are a multitude of activities, events and attractions for young families to enjoy and the best part is that many are completely free of charge. Whatever your family’s interests are, you’ll find plenty of great ways to make memories together here in Red Deer.

Take a Country Drive Red Deer County has agriculture as its backbone.

Visitors are welcomed at many area farms where you can get eggs, honey, vegetables, fruits, meat, preserves, and cheese right from the farm gate or at a farmers’ market. Great attractions like U-pick farms, corn mazes, sunflower mazes, greenhouses, antique shops and museums dot the peaceful countryside.

Love a Lake Whether you enjoy boating, fishing, watersports or swimming, there’s a lake in Red Deer County that perfectly suits your purpose.

The three major recreational lakes in Red Deer County are Pine Lake, Sylvan Lake and Gleniffer Reservoir.

History Comes Alive Did you know that the “Shakespeare of Iceland” was an Alberta homesteader? Unable to sleep at nights, Stephan G. Stephansson wrote poetry in his native tongue and became famous in his homeland. Today you can visit his original homestead along the Scandinavian Trail (scandinaviantrail. ca). Other wonderful attractions include the Danish Canadian Museum, the Dickson Store Museum, Historic Markerville and the Markerville Creamery.

Get Your Game On Golfers love the many courses in Red Deer County that offer everything from beginner to championship level play.

C O N N E C T W I T H N AT U R E The Red Deer region is well known for its remarkable trail system and its commitment to preserving nature and wildlife. It was here in Red Deer in 1924 that Alberta’s first federal migratory bird sanctuary was established on almost 118 hectares of protected land within the city limits.

Today there are more than 100 kilometres of trails inside the city and almost 3,000 kilometres more in the region connecting communities and people with nature.

Lakes, wetlands, rivers, meadows, and forests can all be explored right inside the city of Red Deer and you’ll see many species of birds and mammals along the way. If you’re lucky, you might spot an eagle, an owl, beaver or even a moose in your wanderings.

Pop into the Kerry Wood Nature Centre to learn more about area’s wildlife, take part in an educational program or go on a guided nature walk. The Centre rents snowshoes in the winter, making nature walks a year-round activity.

Exercising outside is easy and enjoyable thanks to an extensive paved trail system that is beloved by joggers, walkers and cyclists, much of which is cleared of snow in the winter. Outdoor gym facilities are located at various places along the trail system along with benches, playgrounds and picnic areas.

Those who want to cycle even further can hop on the Trans Canada Trail that connects The City of Red Deer with The Town of Blackfalds and The City of Lacombe.

TRAILS Waskasoo Park Trail System Walks, Hikes & Bikes Red Deer’s beautiful parks and natural green spaces are well known throughout Alberta with over 100 km of easily accessible, paved, walking, hiking, mountain biking, and equestrian trails connecting park users to beautiful green areas and park attractions. Pack a picnic lunch and stop at one of the many picnic tables or shelters along the way, sip a coffee while the kids play on one of the playgrounds, or just breathe in the sweet clean air and listen to the birds on a peaceful walk.

Bower Ponds

DISCOVERY CANYON

OPEN MID-JUNE

Grab a coffee and head out for a quiet morning stroll along the ponds or head out with the kids later in the day and combine your walk with a stop at the playground. Take advantage of the trails along the river to extend your walk to Heritage Ranch.

Heritage Ranch Heritage Ranch is a great starting point if you’re planning to explore the trail system throughout the river valley and a destination on its own with a network of over 20 km of official and informal trails. Located along the river, the area was once used as a quarry and has now been fully reclaimed into an amazing green space with a fishing pond.

Maskepetoon Park Come out and enjoy this free family favorite that features: ō a lazy river ō shallow pool

ō beach area ō picnic area

A new playground area is under construction and will open late summer.

Discovery Canyon is open June to September (weather dependent).

Explore over 3 km of interpretive trails in an area nested along the Red Deer River. The park includes many unique natural features including one of the most easterly located tamarack fen in the province.

Devonian Trail The Devonian Trails connect a series of smaller parks along Piper and Waskasoo Creek, from the southern edge of the city to the Red Deer River. Follow the entire trail from Bower Woods to Gaetz Park or bring the family to Rotary Picnic Park and explore the trails leading to nearby Kin Kanyon where another playground awaits.

Gaetz Lakes Sanctuary The federal Red Deer Migratory Bird Sanctuary, established in 1924, is the oldest of only 4 in Alberta. Follow the Dr. George path (wheelchair accessible) for a 1 km loop with a stop at the bird blind on the west lake or head out for a 4 km hike along the edge of the sanctuary. Take your time to stop and look at the flowers, birds and wildlife that make their home in this wild refuge in the middle of the city.

Finding Your Way With so many trails to explore, figuring out where to start and end will be your most daunting task. To make the most of your trail experience we recommend that you head over to Pursuit Adventures’ website prst.ca/waskasoo to view and even print maps of suggested routes.

MUSIC IS LIFE Music soothes the human soul and ignites our passions and creativity. It is a vehicle of expression and at its very best, it is an art form. Plato wrote, “Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.”

We celebrate music in all its forms. Red Deer has an enthusiastic community band society and there are five adult community concert bands that are active from September through May playing everything from classical to jazz-rock, funk, and Latin music.

SILENT LEGACY The City of Red Deer is home to one of the largest public collections of life-sized bronze sculptures (ghosts) in Canada.

There are currently ten ghosts scattered throughout downtown.

One of the most dramatic is “Sound the Alarm,” located at 49 Street and 48 Avenue.

This bronze, which depicts firefighters and their horses surging into action, is a vibrant historical representation.

When you visit this ghost, you can also see many more pieces of Red Deer’s history – all within a short walking distance.

“Sound the Alarm” is located next to the former Armoury/Fire Hall, one of the oldest buildings in Red Deer, which now houses a portion of Red Deer Public Library. The building can also be your starting place for heritage walking tours, and a map located on the second floor inside will point you in the right direction.

Our new NexSource Centre boasts 155,000+ square foot recreation and senior centre is where community is built- in fact, the centre is the result of our community coming together to support and fundraise.

Winter Fun In winter, the lake has one of the longest outdoor skating tracks in North America and regularly hosts the winter speed skating marathon. Ice fishing is also popular and anglers vie for Northern Pike, Whitefish, Yellow Perch and Walleye.

Fun in the Sun Explore the 42.8 square km lake by renting a paddleboard, kayak, canoe or a motorboat. You can also try the new Sylvan Lake Aqua Splash, the ultimate aquatic playground!

Sylvan Lake Park includes picnic tables, change houses, playgrounds and a pier, as well as picnic shelters, which are available for rent. Nearby you’ll find scooter rentals, bumper cars and mini-golf.
