2 55.32°, -115.47°
About location

Kinuso occupies a low, open corridor near the southern shore of Lesser Slave Lake in northern Alberta. The community is set along Highway 2 in Big Lakes County, where cultivated clearings and roadside grassland meet the boreal forest belt. Lesser Slave Lake is one of Alberta’s largest lakes and a defining presence for settlements on its shores; its broad basin contrasts with the gently rolling country around Kinuso. The highway links the area with communities across northwestern Alberta, while local roads lead toward the lake and surrounding rural land. Kinuso’s name is derived from Cree, a reminder of the Indigenous languages and communities that shape this part of the province. For travellers, it is a useful point of reference on a long northern road rather than an urban stop.
