Nature & Local Features

With lake access just steps away, outdoor living defines this community. Residents enjoy swimming, kayaking, ice fishing, and starry night skies — all while staying close to amenities in nearby Anzac and Fort McMurray.

Community Life & Culture

Community spirit is often seen in shared barbecues, kids playing on forest trails, and neighbours helping each other — especially during winter or spring melt.
