Mile Zero Monument

If you’re exploring Alberta, make sure to stop and check out the Mile Zero Marker and get a photo with it! This monument marks mile zero of the Mackenzie Highway leading visitors north to Manning, High Level, Hay River, Yellowknife and beyond. It is still an important transportation route to Canada’s north.

This monument is part of the Tom Baldwin Memorial Arboretum and the Historic Mackenzie Highway Park. It is right off the main highway 2 that goes through the town of Grimshaw.

Right beside that is the Northern Alberta Railway car which offers another photo opportunity.

Queen Elizabeth Provincial Park

This is a beautiful park found on the shore of Lac Cardinal. If you’ve got a boat, this is the perfect place for a boat launch to enjoy the view of the water. You can go tubing, sailing, windsurfing, water skiing, or swimming. Sit back and enjoy the warm sand on a summer day. You can also go mountain biking on the shore through the boreal forest trail.

 

Unfortunately, you won’t be able to fish in the Lac Cardinal, but there is lots of vegetation you can explore and go birdwatching with over 140 species of birds in the park. There is also an opportunity to go camping with single-use and group campsites. Bring your volleyball for a friendly game!

Alberta Pond Hockey Tournament

February/March

Hockey was born and raised on Canada’s frozen ponds, lakes, dugouts and rivers. Outdoors in the crisp winter air, no red or blue lines, no face-off circles, in the open and just for fun. The Alberta Pond Hockey Championships will tip its hat to the days when hockey was played the way nature intended it.

 

Lac Cardinal Provincial Park, located between Peace River and Grimshaw, provides a picturesque setting. Besides offering some “good old hockey games,” the tournament will offer a range of events for the whole family to enjoy.
