Buck Lake is a lake and hamlet in the County of Wetaskiwin, southwest of Edmonton. It is farther out than Wabamun or Pigeon Lake, and southwest families who ask us about it are usually after more space and a lower price for a cabin than the closer lakes offer.
Getting there from southwest Edmonton
Being on the south side of the city helps here. The County of Wetaskiwin lists Buck Lake on Highway 13. Because the drive is long and depends on the exact lot, we plan the route from your southwest home to each property rather than giving a single time.

What southwest buyers ask about Buck Lake
- Is the distance worth it? If you plan long weekends rather than evenings, a farther lake can stretch your budget. Weigh how often you will use it.
- How are rural services handled? Expect private water and septic on many lots. Make testing and inspection part of your offer.
- Who maintains the roads in winter? Ask the County about road service for the specific property.
- Can we see several cabins in one trip? Yes. We group showings so one day covers your shortlist.
How the team helps
