Wow slave lake is really a hidden gem stone in northern Alberta only a 5 1/2 hour drive from Calgary some of the nicest sandy beach is I’ve been to. the Martin beach subdivision seems to have a blue pocket of beautiful weather, good place to sit catch some rays. also the fishing is quite good I was able to catch large jackfish and walleye! Make sure you keep your fishing license on you!
My favourite lake in Alberta! Especially nice if you have a boat, or know someone who does. Great fishing, I love Slave Lake walleye! Not much to do if the weather is poor, but so wonderful on a sunny day.
A breathtaking beach still as serene and clean now as it was in my childhood.

I've never been there personally. 20 years ago visiting Edmonton, we traveled far from Washington. A group we were sitting next to at a Denny's highly recommended it to his friends. He just kept on talking about it, as we ate our food. Seeing these pictures this place looks great.
One of the nicest lakes around northern Alberta!
I'll never travel without this trip planner again
