Spanning over 10,000 square kilometers, the Municipal District of Lesser Slave River is located in the heart of northern Alberta. A two and a half hour drive north of Edmonton, surrounding the Town of Slave Lake and bisected by Highway 2, Lesser Slave River is home to hundreds of prosperous farms, beautiful hamlets, and a number of thriving oil and gas, forestry, and agriculture industries.

Residents and visitors alike enjoy a relaxed atmosphere, culturally diverse community, and some of the most naturally beautiful parks and open spaces in the province. Here, you can immerse yourself in wilderness solitude one day and embrace a vibrant culture the next. This is a land of rich history and natural wonders: stunning coastlines, beaches, boreal forests, and some of the most incredible skyscapes you'll ever see. The Lesser Slave River region is a perfect place to enjoy outdoor adventures like hiking, bird-watching, kayaking, and fishing year-round.

A vast land, with a relatively small population, here you will find some of the friendliest and most resilient people you'll ever meet. Made up of seven small, closely-knit communities and a population of roughly 3,000 residents, the Municipal District of Lesser Slave River truly is one of Alberta’s hidden gems.
