Hiking, Biking, and More
There are many trails and walking paths for you to enjoy in Lac La Biche Region. Paved, bicycle-friendly paths connect the hamlets of Lac La Biche and Plamondon to rural subdivisions and park areas.
Further afield, you'll find trails of all lengths suitable for hiking, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Some are good for a short jaunt in the great outdoors; others are gateways to multi-day excursions into the backcountry. If you prefer to ride, some trails are open for cycling, ATV riding and snowmobiling.
The Lakeland Provincial Recreation Area, adjacent to Lakeland Provincial Park, has several trails designated for off-road vehicles. Staging areas are located near official campgrounds.
