Far from being the “end of the road,” we’re the start of your adventure. Whether you want to take up the challenge of catching some of the biggest lake trout Alberta has to offer, relax at the world-class Kinosoo Beach, ride trails, hike the country side, enjoy an authentic camping experience, or watch the Royal Canadian Air Force in action, Cold Lake is a four-seasons playground with something to offer for everyone.
A great place to start your exploration of Cold Lake, the Marina is a picturesque viewpoint of the lake and surrounding area.
