Welcome
to Sylvan Lake BY SAM MACDONALD
Sylvan Lake is a picturesque gem wrapped around the enticing lake after which it was named. Tucked into a gorgeous treed valley in the idyllic parkland of Central Alberta, the Town serves as a Prairie oasis with something for the whole family. Sylvan Lake beckons visitors from the din of the larger cities and the openness of the surrounding Prairie parkland, and serves as a getaway in a category all its own. Those looking for something to do on their vacation are in for a treat with the Town’s busy lakefront, with its assortment of attractions, and entertainment. An abundance of top-notch comfortable accommodations are around every corner, ranging from rustic cottages to prestigious hotels. Along with the gorgeous scenery and activities on, in or near the waters of the town’s spring-fed lake, there is a multiplicity of things to do in town. Great spots to eat, drink and shop are always nearby, and Sylvan Lake is also the epicentre for an abundance of cultural and musical festivals and events that take place throughout the year. There’s a reason this town is renowned for being such a hot vacation spot for every season.

Sylvan Lake isn’t afraid to proudly wear its history on its sleeve, either.

Trails that run through the town and quiet parks near the water and around every corner also offer a relaxing respite from the buzz that Sylvan Lake exudes throughout the year, as well. The lake abounds with places to take gorgeous photos and craft memorable moments.
