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.
We have nothing on the calendar at this time.

As part of this year's Summer Kids & Youth Program, parents will be required to complete a simple waiver and consent form before their child participates. This helps us keep contact information up to date and ensures families understand the risks associated with recreational activities.
For your convenience, the form can be completed and submitted in advance or filled out during registration when dropping off your child. The form only needs to be completed once and will remain valid for the entire Summer Program period.
Programming kicks off on July 1 and the first part of the schedule will be posted this Thursday, June 25 so please check back for details.
We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to a great summer!
The Summer Village of Island Lake would like to thank the following for their contribution to the new playground: Island Lake Historical Society / Government of Alberta Community Facility Enhancement Program (CFEP).
