Ice Fishing
If you’re looking for a bit of a wind down after a long work week, ice fishing certainly fits the bill. Stake out a spot on any of the local lakes, or for a more customized outing, hook up with one of Cold Lake’s fishing guides to reel in a monster Lake Trout or the “northern lobster,” Burbot. Great catches of Walleye, Yellow Perch and Lake Whitefish are always a possibility in our snow bum region. It’s A Keeper Guided Fishing Tours & Lodge does winter and summer fishing tours.

Snowmobiling
The Trans Canada Snowmobile Trail links up with the Iron Horse Trail on the east side of Cold Lake. Riders can use the 300 km Iron Horse Trail as a jumping off point to access the countless kilometers of backcountry trails and cutlines that weave through the region’s more rugged terrain. The biggest highlight of touring in our region is that you can experience virtually every type of riding. The area offers a diverse mixture of open areas; lakes, hills, valleys, ravines, creek beds, rivers, treed and sheltered trails.
Around Bonnyville riders can take advantage of the dedicated work of the Bonnyville Snowdusters Snowmobile Club. The club has developed extensive trails around Moose Lake and along the Beaver and Sand Rivers.
Cold Lake is a snowmobilers haven for the simple fact that even if there is a lack of snow on the trails, once the lake is frozen over, there is plenty of space to open up your machine. A visiting rider stay on the lakeshore, step out the front door, hop on his sled, and head north for miles.
Cross Country Skiing
Muriel Lake M.D. Park, just outside of Bonnyville, has 10 km of groomed trails in a boreal forest setting. Cold Lake Provincial Park has 13.5 km of intermittently groomed trails and Moose Lake Provincial Park has 6 km of intermittently groomed trails. The Cold Lake Golf and Winter Club on 4 Wing Cold Lake provides kilometres of groomed cross country ski trails on the golf course.
