Moose Lake by Bonnyville: A Lake for Lakeland Families
Moose Lake sits a few kilometres west of Bonnyville on Highway 28, in the Municipal District of Bonnyville. From Southwest Edmonton it is a long drive northeast, so the clients who ask us about it usually have work, family or a posting in the Bonnyville and Cold Lake area and want a summer place close to it.

A big lake with many bays
Moose Lake covers about 40.8 km², averaging 5.6 m deep and reaching 19.8 m. Its shoreline is broken into named areas, including Pelican Narrows, Vezeau Bay, Bonnyville Beach and Franchere Bay, and each has a different feel, from cabin rows to quieter acreage frontage. Moose Lake Provincial Park dates to 1967. The lake hosts a walleye tournament, and fishing is the main draw.
A real rural market around it
Unlike most northern lakes, the surrounding municipal district has an active market on our MLS System. Rural Bonnyville acreages sold 128 times in the 12 months to October 31 at a median of $517,000, and 31 land parcels sold at a median of $119,500. Land listings were plentiful, at 58 on Nov 8, and took a median of 86 days, so buyers had choice.

Water quality history
A cyanobacteria advisory was issued for Moose Lake in 2021. One summer does not define a lake, but check the Alberta Health Services advisory list for recent years before buying, especially if you plan to swim from your own shore.
Route
From Terwillegar Drive, take the Henday around to the north side of the city and pick up Highway 28 northeast through Smoky Lake country toward Bonnyville.
Owning from a distance
If you will be in the southwest most of the year, line up someone local to check the place in winter, and confirm insurance terms for a seasonal property left empty for weeks at a time.
