Think Sylvan Lake is best reserved for weekend getaways during sweltering summer days? Think again! Living in Sylvan Lake Alberta offers far more than just a seasonal escape. While the town is widely known as one of Central Alberta’s most popular lakefront destinations in summer, Sylvan Lake thrives all year round with activities, events, and a strong sense of community.

Since the launch of the town’s Brilliant All Year campaign in 2016, Sylvan Lake has seen growing interest from those looking to enjoy full-time lakeside living. With its quiet atmosphere, beautiful natural landscape, and welcoming community, Sylvan Lake is an ideal place to call home for everyone from retirees to young families. Below, we’ll explore some of the most popular winter activities in Sylvan Lake, along with a look at the modern communities that make living here so appealing.

The Perfect Place For Ice Skating

Once the colder months begin, Sylvan’s namesake Lake freezes over, presenting the perfect opportunity to strap on your skates and hit the ice. With two massive outdoor rinks available, you’ll have no problem playing some good ol’ fashioned pond hockey, or enjoying a leisurely skate with your little ones!

Snowmobiling

Feeling the need for speed? Snowmobiling is a fantastic way to explore Alberta’s backcountry on a heart pumping adventure.

Ice Fishing

A Canadian staple! Bundle up against the chilly weather and set up camp in one of the 100 ice fishing shacks that populate the lake.

Winterfest

Taking place over the Family Day weekend, Winterfest is fun for all ages and features indoor and outdoor events with plenty of activities to enjoy.

Take A Dip

Just because the lake is frozen doesn’t mean you can’t unleash your inner water fiend! Take a dip in Sylvan’s world class aquatic centre and practice your swimming skills for the summer months.
