      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
