Big Lake

Big Lake has served as a wetland and migratory-bird habitat in the Edmonton region since long before surrounding suburban development. The locality takes its name from Big Lake, a broad, shallow lake on Edmonton’s northwestern edge that drains toward the Sturgeon River. Part of its shore is protected within Lois Hole Centennial Provincial Park, named for Alberta’s former lieutenant governor Lois Hole. Waterfowl and other birds are a defining presence here, while nearby roads connect the area with Edmonton and St. Albert.
