About Sylvan Lake
Visit the serene Sylvan Lake, where the town is all about its namesake. In Alberta, the town sits on the edge of the lake itself. The lake draws an incredible influx of visitors, all wanting to enjoy the water. Summer or winter, Sylvan Lake provides some good old-fashioned Canadian family fun.
Things to do in Sylvan Lake
Sylvan Lake is fresh, clean, and its a breeze to walk along the promenade. The lake itself has incredible sunsets, with restaurants nearby. The beach gets busy in the summer, and you can swim in the clear water. Take on paddle-boarding, sailing, and even jet-skiing. The shallow water makes it kid-friendly, and a great place to soak up the sun. In winter, take advantage of the frozen lake in true Canadian form. Go ice-skating, ice-fishing, and enjoy the Winterfest sleigh rides and ice sculpting. There’s also a weekly Farmers Market at the Railway Park Promenade if you’re looking to get some fresh food and enjoy the local color. Jarvis Bay is much less packed than Sylvan Lake, though its relatively nearby. You’ll have more space to enjoy the water and its surroundings, as well as campgrounds and playgrounds. The lack of shops and restaurants nearby might be right up your alley, and help you get back to nature. Trails lead off from the lake, so you can hike or bike after you go swimming.
