CENTENNIAL PARK

If outdoor adventure is more your speed, you have come to the right town. There are boating and fishing opportunities here on rivers and lakes only minutes from town. The local golf course is only a few blocks from downtown.  In winter there are cross country ski trails at the golf course and more trails at Charlie Lake (a 5 minute drive). There are also hiking, mountain biking, snowshoeing and snowmobiling trails in town and in the vast provincial parks just outside of town. Quadding here has become a verb. Hop on your quad and go for a ride on many of our trails. It’s a blast.
