The Hamlet of Antler Lake is a picturesque community situated on the shores of Antler Lake, just 15 minutes east of Sherwood Park, Alberta. One of eight rural hamlets in Strathcona County, Antler Lake is home to 353 residents. Most reside on the eastern and southern shores of the lake, with a portion of the community built on Hazelnut Island.
Mr. Gregory, a gentleman of the area, developed the community in the early 1950s. Later in 1975 area residents formed the Antler Lake Community League. For his work, Mr. Gregory had a park named after him -- Gregory Park -- which is located across from the Antler Lake Community Hall and has been designated as a natural area within the community. In the early 1990s, the Uncas Community League, neighbours to Antler Lake, disbanded their league and joined the Antler Lake Community League.
Antler Lake is a great community to both raise children and retire where you will find easy access to many amenities. Many local children attend the Uncas Elementary School, just five minutes up the road. Local shopping opportunities are within five to 10 minutes: gifts and antique shops, gas stations and a convenience store. Local restaurants are great places to stop in for a meal or a cup of coffee or tea. There’s even a golf course.
Antler Lake is a small community with ready access to many other outdoor recreation opportunities. Situated on Range Road 211 and 211A, just north of Wye Road, Antler Lake is within five minutes of the Strathcona Wilderness Centre; Cooking Lake-Blackfoot Grazing, Wildlife and Provincial Recreation Area; and Elk Island National Park of Canada. Sherwood Park and Tofield are both within 15 to 20 minutes, they both have recreation opportunities of their own.
