Miquelon Lake Provincial Park is an Alberta Parks provincial park in the Central region, three kilometres south of New Sarepta on Highway 21 and 20 kilometres east on Highway 623. Alberta Parks lists one day-use area, one campground, one comfort camping facility, seven group-use areas, and one visitor centre.
The official page places the park in the Beaver Hills, about 40 minutes southeast of Edmonton.
Miquelon Lake is a classic camping, hiking, birding, and dark-sky park. Alberta Parks says the park has a 15-kilometre network of multi-use trails through a rolling landscape with bird and wildlife diversity. The park includes 270 campsites, four yurts, and seven group campsites.
The visitor centre offers summer interpretive displays, exhibits, a park store, and long-running interpretive programs at the outdoor theatre. The park is also part of the officially designated Beaver Hills Dark Sky Preserve, making night-sky viewing a major reason to stay overnight.
Miquelon Lake itself is not suitable for swimming, but Alberta Parks says it hosts many migratory waterfowl and is considered an Important Bird Area. Activities include cross-country skiing, baseball, birding, canoeing and kayaking, environmental education, hiking, horseshoes, interpretive programs, mountain biking and cycling, skijoring, snowshoeing, wind surfing, geocaching, and electric bicycles.
Current advisories should be checked for seasonal garter snake migration parking limits and potable-water availability.
Plan around camping, yurts, group camping, birding, visitor centre exhibits, interpretive programs, trail loops, dark-sky viewing, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, skijoring, and paddling checks.
Confirm water advisories, campground and yurt status, trailhead parking, garter snake migration closures, AIS precautions, maps, events, weather, and Alberta Parks updates.
