If you’re looking for a quiet getaway, Minnow Lake Provincial Recreation Area is the place to go. Located just a short, two-hour drive west of Edmonton, Alberta, it’s the perfect way to spend a few days outside of the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Minnow Lake PRA is a very small park – it only has ten campsites, and its primary attraction is, as the name states, the peaceful Minnow Lake. Surrounded by grassy fields and lush greenery, the lake is perfect for water activities such as boating, kayaking, canoeing and fishing.

When you head to Minnow Lake, be prepared for the refreshing, off-grid solitude with a stunning and serene lake view. It’s the ultimate relaxation spot, and your trip can be spent on the water or, simply, hammocking among the trees.
