It's a place where people come for a visit and never want to leave. Surrounded by Provincial parks and beautiful Alberta landscape Cold Lake is a haven for outdoor recreation enthusiasts.

With a population including catchment of 20,798, Cold Lake has three main economic industries - the Canadian Forces Base - 4Wing, several thriving oil and gas developments as well as a busy tourism sector. Construction on the Base began in 1952 and it is now the largest air force base in Canada.

Cold Lake is located 287 km northeast of Edmonton and 107 kms north of Lloydminster.

Enjoy the Millennium trail which runs from the Canadian Air Force Base 4Wing to the Marina. When you're ready to relax, head to Kinosoo Beach, recently voted one of Canada's top 25 beaches or out on the green at one of three local golf courses.
