The Summer Village of Island Lake

This friendly community is nestled on the western shore of picturesque Island Lake, approximately twenty kilometres northwest of the town of Athabasca.

Island Lake is a named after the many small islands within its area of just under 8.00 km². Its bays and islands provide an ideal setting for swimming, power boating, water skiing, fishing and canoeing. Cross-country skiing, snowmobiling and ice fishing are enjoyed during the winter months. The area around Island Lake is a nature lover's paradise, with rolling hills and forests filled with wildlife including deer, moose, and countless other birds and animals.

The Summer Village of Island Lake is a unique blend of full time residents and week-end enthusiasts who share their love for the lake. The residents are proud of the cleanliness and serenity of the lake, and encourage all residents and visitors to take care of the lake they love.

Dates: MARCH 7TH AND 8TH, 2025

Come out and join your Island Lake neighbours for this great event on Friday, March 7 (evening) and Saturday, March 8 (all day and into the evening)! Over the years we have discovered that the Bocce format allows all ages to participate and have fun at this event, so we are going with Bocce as the game for this year!

For those not familiar with this event, we play Bocce Ball on Curling sheets on the lake and use a curling scoring format! This is a fun event, come out and spend some time with your Island Lake neighbours. The Bocce Fun ‘Spiel will be held in The Bay once again. We will determine the location of the rink and let everyone know closer to the date.

This event is open to all Island Lake residents 14 years of age and older. This year we are shifting to teams of 4. The cost per team is $40 this year with all proceeds going to the Island Lake Historical and Improvement Society.
