If you plan to bring your family along on your summer tour, then Whitecourt is a must-visit destination. The town will have community events running throughout the warmer months—including the Whitecourt Woodlands Rodeo, Canada Day celebrations and jet boat races. ATVers can venture out of town limits and satisfy their urge for a ride by exploring the local park trail networks.
“The trail system in surrounding Woodlands County is extremely popular,” said Tara Gallant, communication/project co-ordinator for the Town of Whitecourt, “(particularly) the Windfall area and around the nearby Carson-Pegasus Provincial Park.”
Play at the park
Within town limits, visitors can find all kinds of activities in Rotary Park. Families can do a bit of angling or cool off in the Whitecourt River Slides.
“Whitecourt River Slides is a popular, free, family attraction in Rotary Park,” said Gallant. “(It) is a man-made water feature that consists of two creeks with a series of pools and drops for tubing and play, with a shallow basin and beach at the end. ”
Is fishing your pleasure? Consider Riverboat Park or nearby Schuman Lake. If the weather is not on your side, Whitecourt also has indoor alternatives. The Allan & Jean Millar Centre is one amazing place, offering games, aquatic facilities and other activities for active families.
