Alberta Miquelon Lake This lake is located about 65 km southeast of Edmonton (south along Highway 21 and then east along Highway 623). Summer: Enjoy the wide, sandy beach, forested picnic spots, and non-motorized aquatic activities like kayaking and canoeing. The area also has an interconnecting trail system that is perfect for biking and hiking. Visit the Miquelon Park Centre and rent a Discovery Pack to learn more about the surrounding nature, or a geocaching kit to find hidden caches. Winter: Cross-country ski along the lake’s shoreline or through the 20 km of backcountry trails. Skijoring (cross-country skiing with dogs!) is permitted along certain trails, and snowshoe rentals are available through the Park Centre during the week.
