Beyond Edmonton - East

in Edmonton Visitor Guide

Spend the weekend in Strathcona County or picture yourself in friendly Fort Saskatchewan;  either way you’ll have a great time.

STRATHCONA COUNTY — With 65 kilometres of paved, multi-use trails, a nature area for watching wildlife, award-winning greenhouses, U-pick farms and Millennium Place — with activities for the whole family including skating, swimming, and various sports — Strathcona offers superb recreational options. Golf devotees will enjoy the county’s seven courses (including the one designed by Jack Nicklaus).

THE CITY OF FORT SASKATCHEWAN — Only 15 minutes from Edmonton, step back in time at the Fort Saskatchewan Museum and Historical Site. If you’re after a rustic adventure, visit the river-valley campground alongside the North Saskatchewan River.
