This is an exceptionally well laid out small local museum with some very interesting artifacts. The attendants were friendly and helpful. The admission was free. There was a large rack of pamphlets for other things to see and do in the area. And, the bathrooms were clean!

Located 20 minutes south of Lac La Biche, Christy Creek Honey produces local honey and other hive products. It is a small, family run business in the heart of summer blooms. Christy Creek Honey offers hive tours by appointment (May-August). Learn about bees, taste a sample of their honey, hear their buzzing, see the scenery and blooms, and smell the fresh county air. Bee themed and locally made items can be purchased in the gift shop. In later summer, once the bees have enough honey to share, you can visit the gift shop to buy honey.

A change of holiday plans because of Covid-19 and we find ourselves pleasantly in a part of Alberta that we have never been before. Our Europe trip got cancelled and a total lockdown seemed eminent. Of course, when the situation eased somewhat, our alternate plans seemed to only include our province. Really no need to feel sorry for ourselves. Now we were given the opportunity to see more of the Alberta that we were born in. And, as Albertans know, (down in our hearts, at least), our province is "so worthy of its World class status”. We decided to go the camping route for our journey of discovery. We had always tented, but decided an upgrade was in order, so we purchased a small tent trailer, a Living' Lite 6.0 by Quicksilver. A good choice and we were all set to go. We forged ahead with our plans; a bit difficult because it seemed we weren't the only ones planning on sightseeing our province by camping. Persistence and to a degree, some "luck", we managed to piece together a trip that would take us north of Edmonton -- sad to say, this would really be our first time. The first stop would be Sir Winston Churchill Provincial Park, located close to Lac La Biche. This park is situated on a series of islands in Lac La Biche, the lake not the town, and is connected to the mainland by a causeway. It is very private, but has easy access to the town of the same name. You are in a truly natural setting, as well as having access to the amenities of Lac La Biche. Indeed, the park is known for its preservation of an old growth forest. The 300-year-old trees, protected from forest fire devastation due to their location on the islands. The campground was operating under the Alberta Government Covid Rules which meant limited access to the office, only one person allowed inside at a time. They had a small store there as well, which featured a selection of ice cream treats. This building also included shower facilities, which unfortunately were closed because of the restrictions forced upon us by Covid. Too bad for us, but we understand that this may have been reversed later on in the season. Our campsite, which we were fortunate to book, was good sized, great for our Living' Lite, surrounded by trees and had electric hookups for our trailer. We were close to potable water and close to the pit toilet, never my favourite place, but they were kept clean. There are trails that go around and across the island and there are also nice sandy beaches. These were mostly flooded (we visited in June) because, according to one employee, the abundance of rain this year had left the lake at the highest levels seen in recent memory. One accompanying plague was the abundance of mosquitoes. This is really a nice park and if one does not want to camp, there are also cabins available. Check out their website. The park has a day area and also offers boat access to the lake. There is also golfing available just after crossing over the causeway at the Lac La Biche Golf and Country Club. One of the features is its proximity to the town. Lac La Biche is a very nice and tidy town, offering all the amenities that you would wish, and it is situated on a very beautiful lake. Lac La Biche was founded in 1798 by David Thompson and was an important stop on the voyageur route that linked the Athabaskan region with the Hudson Bay. There is a statue, at the end of a long row of attractive houses on Churchill Drive which borders the lake, that commemorates this event. The Lac La Biche Mission, a National Historic Site, founded by Oblate missionaries in 1853, is also worth a look while you are in the region. While you are looking into the history of the area, be sure to visit the Lac La Biche Museum and Visitor Centre. The area around Lac La Biche abounds with lakes, indeed, it is what is referred to as Lakeland County. So fishing is one of the recreational pastimes that draws people to the region. And as can be expected, there are also several other Provincial Parks located in the area, Lakeland Provincial Park being one. Surprisingly, this area which lies almost 55 degrees latitude north, has a very productive agriculture economy based on the growing of crops and pastureland for livestock. Since we were camping we were mostly preparing our own food, however, we do enjoy checking out any place that offers specialty coffee. Costa Cafe, on main street, more than satisfied us in this regard. The bonus was our server's recommendation of the Pelican Grill located in the club house of the Lac La Biche Golf and Country Club. This suggestion led us to a well-served breakfast the next day. Both establishments are apparently run by the same individuals and both adhere to the government guidelines regarding Covid. We give our recommendation to both places, the coffee, there are also treats available, at Costa, or breakfast or something from the lunch or dinner menu from the Pelican Grill. The government guidelines are adhered to in each establishment. We definitely plan on returning to this area and staying at Sir Winston Churchill Provincial Park. Giving it a Thumbs Up!
