Enjoy the many attractions vibrant Athabasca, Alberta has to offer.

  • C.N.R. STATION - The railroad reached Athabasca in 1912 – the end of the steel. The station closed in 1973 then was purchased and renovated by the Senior Citizens for a Drop-in Center.
  • STEAM ENGINE - A 1915 model 75 – 25 H.P., 2 Cylinder. Remple-Stelter bought it for their lumber mill at Lawrence Lake just after World War II. It was later purchased by Northland Utilities. This engine was the type used in earlier days for running the separator to thresh grain.
  • ATHABASCA NATIVE FRIENDSHIP CENTRE - offers a new and used store, craft sales, native displays and photos, youth programs, outreach programs, folk music club, and educational activities and programs.
  • HIGHWAY NO. 2 - runs through town on its way to Slave Lake and ultimately to hook up with the Alaska Highway at Dawson Creek. At one time it was called the “Alcan Highway”. During World War 2, it was truly a military road. Convoys from the United States passed through town in endless numbers carrying men, supplies, and machines of war to Alaska. During the winter, when the convoys stopped overnight, they would leave their trucks running, as the temperature would drop to 50-60 degrees below zero. In the morning, there would be a blue haze of diesel smoke over the town. Cafes remained open all night to feed the weary truckers and the hotel was always full. Many had to use sleeping bags and sleep in the lobby of the hotel.
  • ATHABASCA UNIVERSITY - In 1980, it was announced that Athabasca would be a permanent home of Athabasca University. In the spring of 1983, construction started. As a “Distance Education” university, there is no campus, but rather university courses are delivered by mail, Internet, telephone and teleconference to students for home study. It has an enrollment of 17,000 students worldwide. Plans are now being formed for expansion.
  • LANDING TRAIL - This Trail was the main route used by early settlers and men on their way to the Peace River District and the Klondike Gold Rush. They walked or came by wagon train. Later the stagecoach, a two-seater democrat, took two days to make a trip from Edmonton to the Landing. The Hudson’s Bay Company established the first trail in 1875-76, connecting the North Saskatchewan River with the Athabasca River. David Thompson traveled this trail on his trips north.
  • TRACKERS’ PARK - This one lot downtown is located just a short distance south of the CIBC. The name, “Trackers’ Park” commemorates the men who pulled the scows and York boats 180 miles up-stream from the Grand Rapids to Athabasca Landing prior to the RiverBoats plying the River. The park was built with funds from the Devonian Foundation in 1981.
  • FRINGE FESTIVAL - If you enjoy music, drama and lots of activities for the children, be sure to put the Athabasca Country Fringe Festival on your list of things you won’t want to miss this summer. Based on the popularity of the Edmonton Fringe Festival, Athabasca’s Fringe Festival is often used as a preview to the Edmonton Festival.
