CITY OF CAMROSE
THE CAMROSE REGION
Your weekend destination
The Camrose region, consisting of
18 charming communities, is the ideal weekend destination with things for
the whole family to do. Located an
hour southeast of Edmonton in Central Alberta, Camrose encompasses a rich history and modern vibrancy. Built upon traditional Indigenous hunting grounds, the Camrose region was developed by railway networks offering passenger service, exporting mined ores and supporting the bountiful agriculture industry. Stay at one of the 20 cozy campgrounds surrounded by nature, at a bed and breakfast with picturesque prairie views, or enjoy a luxurious stay at one of the hotels in Camrose.
Spend the morning exploring extensive trail networks, historic sites, and points of interest. Preferred destinations include the Stoney Creek Valley in Camrose, Miquelon Lake Provincial Park and the historic Meeting Creek railway station and park.
Ever picnicked at a former gravel pit? The Nature Conservation Centre
is a beautiful and unique day-use area reclaimed in 2010 and is popular for scuba diving as the pond is deep and clean. Hike, bike, run, paddle, fish, golf, and bird watch as you experience the distinctive flora and fauna of the aspen parkland. The Camrose region has
gained recognition as a central hub for golf enthusiasts with seven contemporary golf courses catering to players of all skill levels.
Feast at restaurants, cafes, and bistros in the region to satisfy cravings for hearty, locally produced meals. Spend the afternoon discovering everything downtown Camrose has to offer from specialty boutiques to mini parks and murals, game cafes to historic sites. For the adventure seekers, consider a tour of the local breweries and distilleries
to sample some local tastes. Catch a
special sunset with an ice cream and a view of glassy Mirror Lake.
Evenings are best spent relaxing with friends and family around a campfire, star gazing in the dark sky preserve, unwinding at the indoor pool in Camrose, or taking in a live show. With three theatres renowned for their live performances, providing a stage for everyone from local artisans to professional touring companies, the Camrose region has an event for you! From local Harvest Festivals to North America’s longest running country music festival, Big Valley Jamboree, the Camrose region is alive with activity making it the perfect weekend destination for you and your family!
