Where: English Bay Campground , English Bay Provincial Recreation Area , Information & Facilities

Details:

Due to the shallow lakebed and prevailing winds constantly pushing sand onto shore, the boat launch at English Bay Provincial Recreation Area may temporarily not be suitable for bigger boats, e.g. wake or surf type.

Larger motor boats can be launched at the Cold Lake Provincial Park boat Launch, or the City of Cold Lake marina.  

  • At the Cold Lake Provincial Park Boat Launch - there is no charge for launching boats and parking is available 
  • The City of Cold Lake marina charges a daily boat launch fee

Updated: January 19, 2026 

This small provincial recreation area along the western shore of Cold Lake has a campground with powered sites. Cold Lake is a large lake on Alberta's eastern border, and a popular spot for lake activities. Bird watchers will find this a great location for songbirds such as the wood warbler, flycatcher and thrush in the treetops, as well as waterfowl along the shoreline.

18 km north of Cold Lake on Hwy. 897
