Itinerary:

Enjoy a moderate paced day hike of the Islet Lake area of Cooking Lake - Blackfoot Provincial Park.

We will hike approximately 13-16km, depending on the group and the weather. The terrain is varied between flat sections with some hills.

Please bring a lunch for this trip - we will be stopping at a picnic shelter on the trail for about 20-30 minutes.

The approximate duration mentioned above includes the travel time to get there as well as a lunch break.

Note: I have NOT done this hike before so please be patient!

Check out the Trail Map for more info.

If you have somewhere to be by mid afternoon, please do not sign up for this event as we might be later than expected.

Please note that we will be meeting up at the carpool location at Bonnie Doon Mall at 10:00 AM & leaving there at 10:10 AM SHARP! My intention is to arrive at Islet Lake around 11:00 AM.

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

We will park at the Islet Lake Staging Area on the south side of the park.
Islet Lake is about 25km east of Sherwood Park, so from the Sherwood Park Freeway (a.k.a. Hwy. # 630 then Wye Road), turn north at Range Road # 200.

Carpool to Event Distance (round trip):

80Km

Carpool Departure Time:

10:00 AM

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 $23.20 (calculated at total Km * $0.29, effective Friday, April 19, 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.
