Attractions & Events
Elk Point is the “right place to be” for much more than its history, which dates back to the fur trade and is celebrated by the 32-foot statue of explorer Peter Fidler and by Fort George and Buckingham House Provincial Historic Site, located eleven kilometers east via Highway 646 which features the original fort sites and a multimedia interpretive centre. Take a trip through time and visit this unique historic site, the location of two competing fur trade posts. Over a century of history, from the North West Rebellion to the 1980s, is depicted on a 100-foot mural near the Town of Elk Point Library on 50th Ave.

A pancake breakfast, RCMP Detachment tours, a parade and afternoon stage show are followed by safe and fun kids activities and family participation events, including chili cook-off and more. Take in the action packed Stoney Lake Rodeo. In late November, the town becomes a winter wonderland for the annual Christmas Extravaganza with shopping specials, Santa, and special events that end with a brightly lighted parade, followed by fireworks.
Outdoors
The scenic four-season, multi-purpose Iron Horse Trail stretches from Waskatenau to Cold Lake, bringing wagon trains, ATV enthusiasts, snowmobilers, and hikers to the community. The trail is also home to the Iron Horse Mini and Iron Horse Ultra 100 marathons. As well, a walking trail around town is especially popular with pole walking. For the sporty type, visit the ball diamonds and the A. G. Ross Arena, which have a tradition of hosting provincial tournaments for minor sports. The newly enlarged C. G. Baker Riding Arena also has a full event schedule of team roping, barrel racing, and gymkhana. Try out a local favourite at the pickleball courts! Take the kids to the spray park located at 5502 - 51 Street, north of the A.G. Ross Arena.
Elk Point Recreation Park is a hub of activities, with the 9-hole golf course, ball diamonds, and soccer fields. Luckily, the adjacent campground’s tree-shaded power sites offer Play & Stay options for golfers. Excellent camping opportunities are also available at the Elks Wilderness Park at Kehewin Lake, north on Highway 41; Stoney Lake, west on Highway 646; and Whitney Lakes Provincial Park, east on Highway 646.
