Lac Ste. Anne is a large lake northwest of Edmonton, ringed by summer villages, the village of Alberta Beach and rural lots. For southwest Edmonton buyers, the attraction is choice: several lakeside communities, each with its own feel and its own bylaws. Our job is to help you sort through them.
From the southwest, go north on Anthony Henday Drive, west on Highway 16, then northwest on Highway 43. The Government of Alberta places the summer village of Sunset Point about 75 km northwest of Edmonton and notes that Yellowstone, on the north shore, lies south of Highway 43. West Cove, on the south shore, is listed at about 100 km northwest of Edmonton.

Lac Ste. Anne lies along Highway 43, about 75 km west of Edmonton. It covers about 54.5 square km, with an average depth of about 4.8 m and a maximum of about 11 m. Fishing is popular, with whitefish, northern pike, walleye and yellow perch.
The Village of Alberta Beach is on the southeast shore, with the summer villages of Castle Island, Sunset Point and Val Quentin on either side. Ross Haven, Yellowstone, the hamlet of Gunn and the Alexis reserve are on the north shore, and West Cove is on the south shore of the west basin. There are campgrounds at Alberta Beach and Gunn.
The Nakota Sioux first called the lake Wakamne, or God's Lake. Thirty to forty thousand people attend the annual pilgrimage in the last week of July, so expect busy roads around the lake that week.
When you buy, compare properties in the same village or on the same side of the lake, and check frontage, winterization and the water and septic setup. See what has recently sold on our Lac Ste. Anne sold properties page.
