Backcountry Exploration

Venture off the beaten path. Take the road less travelled. You’ve heard these sayings before. The Lac La Biche Region is where you can turn words into action.

Old Conklin Road

North of Lac La Biche Lake, the wilderness is open to all, but adventured by few. The Old Conklin Road winds through the sea of trees, taking you past old cutlines and trappers’ cabins, deep into Crown land where backcountry camping and exploration await. The road is not an all-weather route, and the journey to Goodwin, Steepbank and Wappau Lakes can be an adventure in itself. Go far enough north and you might even spot rare endangered woodland caribou.

The backcountry in the Lac La Biche Region is open to all who respect it. Help take care of the land by practicing no-trace camping, exploring responsibly and showing respect for the natural environment.
