Itinerary:

We will meet in the SE corner of the parking lot at the Century Park LRT station at 8:30 AM and drive out to Miquelon Lake Provincial Park. We will try to be there by about 9:00 or 9:15 AM.

To get to the park, you will need to head east from Edmonton on Yellowhead, Sherwood Park Freeway or Anthony Henday (Hwy 216) then turn south on Hwy 21. When you pass New Sarepta, look for a turn to the left marked by a sign. The park entrance is a few kilometers down the road on your left. Once past the gate, turn right and drive along the road then turn into the first group camping turnoff. Up that road is a field with parking just a few meters from the trailhead.

We will hike some of the scenic trails in the east end of the park. The distance is about 10 or 12 km. and the difficulty is moderate. Afterwards, we can return to the lake for lunch, and possibly a swim if the weather's nice.

After we're done, we will drive back to Edmonton.

Required Items to Bring:
Decent hiking shoes, snacks, water. Bug spray and sunblock. Lunch in a cooler for after the hike.

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
Swimsuit and towel.

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

Carpool Cost:

The event coordinator(s) will help you to arrange a centralized carpool if you require it, but it's not guaranteed. Please DO NOT pay your driver en route. Passengers will pay the coordinator, and he/she will distribute the money to the carpool drivers. SO PLEASE BRING CASH!!! Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $40.60 (calculated at total Km * $0.29, effective Friday, April 26, 2024). This is based on $0.09/Km for maintenance, plus current gas price divided by 9. This cost will be multiplied by the number of carpooled cars, and divided by the number of carpool participants.
