Sylvan Lake at a Glance
The town of Sylvan, with its serene blue waters and smooth sandy beaches,
rests on the southeast bank of Sylvan Lake in central Alberta,
Canada. It is located 18 km (11.2
mi) west of Red Deer and halfway
between Calgary and Edmonton.
The lake itself has an area of 42.8 square km (16.5 square mi) and is one of the
most popular tourist destinations in the province. The long freshwater lake offers
bronze-bodied visitors a vast range of outdoor activities such as swimming, waterskiing,
wakeboarding, fishing, jet skiing and boating during the heat of the summer months.
During the winter, when the lake freezes over, pastimes such as skating, skidooing
and cross-country skiing prevail. Notable attractions in Sylvan Lake include Wild
Rapids Waterslide Park, the many shops
and restaurants
along Lakeshore
Drive and the town's annual Jazz
at the Lake event. Sylvan is also the home to hundreds of different species
of wildlife that dwell in the area.
