BE A TOURIST IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD

Rent watercraft or bicycles from Aniwye Adventures in McArthur Park for a day of fun on the lakeshore. Rent ATVs from Off Road Rentals & Sales or ARGO NORTH to explore the boreal forest on a guided or self-guided tour. Experience the Lakeland Canoe Circuit, a three-day, 40-kilometre backcountry journey through the primeval wilderness of Lakeland Provincial Park.
Just because you’re a resident doesn’t mean you can’t explore and experience Lac La Biche Region as a tourist. Why not discover our community’s unique attractions this spring and summer?
History & Culture On Display
Visit Lac La Biche Mission National Historic Site for a glimpse of the frontier in the olden days, complete with heritage buildings and exhibits. View the world’s only permanent collection of works by Professional Native Indian Artists Inc., also known as the Indian Group of Seven, at Portage College Museum of Aboriginal Peoples’ Art & Artifacts. Discover Plamondon’s pioneer past and francophone vibes at Plamondon District Museum and Mini Parc Heritage Park. Immerse yourself in Lac La Biche Region’s backstory, from prehistory to modern times, and discover the people and events that shaped our community at Lac La Biche Museum.
Cultural Connections
Disconnect from day-to-day life and reconnect with the earth while glamping and learning traditional Métis teachings at Hideaway Adventure Grounds. Spend a night in one of the Tipis at Sir Winston Churchill Provincial Park.
Shop for authentic Indigenous-made products and gifts at Indigenous Spirit Creations at Lac La Biche Canadian Native Friendship Centre. Make a daytrip to Métis Crossing, Alberta’s first major Métis cultural destination, on original Métis river lots overlooking the North Saskatchewan River.
Agritourism & Culinary Delights
Don a beekeeping suit, look inside working beehives and sample delicious honey (of course) at Christy Creek Honey. Bite into unique, multicultural dishes at local cafés and restaurants. Taste something you’ve never tried before! The weekly Farmers Market is your one-stop shop for locally grown produce and locally crafted wares, one-of-a-kind knickknacks and more. Relaxing Getaways
