Tofield: Highway 14 and Beaverhill Lake
Tofield, a Beaver County town of 2,045 (2021 Census) about 68 km east of Edmonton, has one advantage for the southwest: Highway 14 leaves the Henday on the southeast side of the city, so the trip never touches downtown. Beaverhill Lake, just northeast of town, has wetlands and bird populations the Town calls internationally recognized.
