Whitecourt, which lies within Alberta's Woodlands County, is widely known as the Snowmobiling Capital of Alberta—yet Whitecourt also has an extensive network of ATVing trails. Popular areas to ride include the House Mountain area and the Timeu OHV Recreation Area northeast of Fort Assiniboine. In addition, around 80 per cent of Woodlands County is Crown land, allowing quadders the opportunity to explore numerous trails and areas without ever seeing the same thing twice.

Whitecourt is holding a variety of events throughout June, July and August. From July 15 to 17, the Whitecourt Woodlands Rodeo is scheduled in conjunction with the Whitecourt Wheels Show and Shine, which happens on July 16.

More details on these events will be released on the community events calendar as the date approaches.
