Land Owner
The Wapasu Lake Conservancy Park near Innisfree is a joint undertaking to preserve and protect the wildlife habitat known in and around the Lake. Wapasu Lake (Cree for white swan) is a known migratory stop for white swans, and countless wildlife species. Included in this project is the development of 4 km of multi-use nature trails, bird viewing sites, and restored native botanical sites. Trails are developed to the summit of the natural elevation that provides a panoramic view of the lake and surrounding area for you to enjoy. Enjoy the new beach and playground, day-use, and recreational area along the southeast shore of the lake. For an overnight stay, book a room at the Beachside Bed & Breakfast.
The portion of trail running alongside the lake/seasonal cabins is fairly flat where. You can start on the west side of the seasonal cottages where there is a parking area along the lake. You can branch off this trail to access the ride to the summit (head south) which leads your through quite an intense climb. The destination contains a bench and panoramic viewing area of the lake and surrounding farm land.
These trails are maintained by the County of Minburn as well as the seasonal cottage owners living along the lake. Please respect them.
Access Info
Drive past the 'cottage owners only' sign until you reach the end of the road. You can park at this area or park along Wapasu Drive and start from the east side of the trail.
