 About High Prairie

High PrairieThe Town of High Prairie is located 365 km northwest of Edmonton on primary Highway 2, and 209 km northeast of Grande Prairie, on a direct route to both the Mackenzie and Alaska Highway systems. It is situated on 538 hectares at the west end of Lesser Slave Lake, within short distances from three smaller lakes. Outdoor enthusiasts have celebrated the area’s natural splendor by calling it “Big Lake Country”.

 Surrounded by boreal forest and open plains yielding rich farmland, High Prairie enjoys a dry, sub-humid climate with warm summers and cool winters. High Prairie and, its rural neighbor, the Municipal District of Big Lakes share a glacial-age history that has left in its wake many unique ecological sites, reminders of Lesser Slave Lake’s former vastness.

 These special attractions, along with an environment rich with beauty and natural resources, are conveniently accessed by a system of air, rail and road networks that help cast High Prairie as a focal point for goods and services distribution.

                                                               

High Prairie is a short 20-minute drive from the western end of Lesser Slave Lake; which is the largest lake entirely within Alberta’s boundaries – 108 kilometers long by 19 kilometers wide (widest point).  World-class fishing takes place on Lesser Slave Lake (Walleye, Northern Pike, Perch), with several winter and summer derbies held annually.
