Attractions & Events


Waskatenau welcomes visitors with its stunning natural beauty, rich heritage, and charming small-town atmosphere. The area offers a variety of cultural experiences, while activities such as wildlife viewing, canoeing, and snowmobiling make it a perfect year-round getaway.

Set out on a hike along the Nature Trail, which starts at the historic 1919 wooden train trestle and following the creek for a quarter mile. This location also marks the western trailhead for the Iron Horse Trail, stretching 260 kilometers east for year-round multi-use adventures. Just south of town, near the North Saskatchewan River is the 58 km Victoria Trail, once an Indigenous trail leading to the Victoria Settlement.

As you head east, you'll come across the new Pine Creek Retreat and the RCMP Memorial Statue, built in 1998 to honor the original 20 Northwest Mounted Police who journeyed to Fort Edmonton in 1874.

Waskatenau has also hosted numerous baseball championships from across Western Canada. The top-notch facility at the Pine Creek Ball Park is considered to be one of the top baseball facilities and hosting sites in Alberta.

Plan your visit in August to experience Fair Days, a vibrant celebration filled with family-friendly activities.
