Lac La Biche Region is your gateway to the incredible woods and waters of Alberta’s Lakeland.

Located midway between Edmonton and Fort McMurray, Lac La Biche Region rests on Treaty 6, Treaty 8 and Treaty 10 territory and the traditional homeland of the Métis people. Home to Indigenous peoples since time immemorial, the region has brought together people from all around the world and all walks of life, united by a love of nature and a lifestyle that can’t be replicated anywhere else.
Authentic Outdoor Adventure
In Lac La Biche Region, Mother Nature isn’t just your neighbour – she’s practically your roommate, and you enjoy the full benefits of having such a cozy relationship.
Live like a modern-day voyageur and experience the Lakeland Canoe Circuit, Alberta’s only backcountry paddling loop.
Cultural Connections
Lac La Biche Region contains three First Nations, two Métis Settlements, and a plethora of authentic Indigenous attractions and experiences.
Beaver Lake Cree Nation and Heart Lake First Nation host annual competition Pow Wows, spectacular cultural celebrations where every dance has a story and a purpose. Plus, a One-Day Traditional Pow Wow co-hosted by Indigenous and non-Indigenous partners celebrates community-building and reconciliation on Treaty lands.
Creature Comforts
Drive and putt in paradise at the newly enhanced Lac La Biche Golf & Country Club, with a spectacular lakeside setting and one of the best patio views in the region.
Lie on sandy beaches, spot 200-plus species of birds, reel in the catch of a lifetime, hike through towering old-growth forests, enjoy boutique shopping and big-city amenities in small-town settings, explore a Farmers Market that punches way above its weight, and so much more.
Must-See Events
No matter the season, no one celebrates like Lac La Biche Region.
Lac La Biche Ice Festival, taking place right on the main lake’s frozen surface, the Lakeland Country Fair and Alberta Wife-Carrying Championship (you read that correctly), the mud-racing spectacles of Plamondon Mud Bogs, and the action-packed weekend of Pow Wow Days & Fish Derby are just some of the jaw-dropping events that get people across Alberta talking. And almost every weekend in between, you can expect a local rodeo, a one-of-a-kind market, a community festival or cultural gathering.
