This photo point on Buffalo Lake serves as a vital tool for monitoring the lake's evolving landscape. With water levels impacting both recreational opportunities and ecological balance, this station provides a consistent reference for long-term visual documentation. By capturing seasonal and climatic fluctuations, it contributes to a comprehensive dataset that informs sustainable management and conservation efforts. Through this initiative, Lacombe County remains committed to safeguarding the future of Buffalo Lake, ensuring its recreational and environmental integrity for generations to come.

Buffalo Lake

Lacombe County contains vast, beautiful farm lands, with several 100-year-old farms still operating, as well as friendly hamlets, rural acreage communities, and a mixture of new and established lake communities. We take great pride in honouring our historic rural roots, while supporting new development opportunities. Lacombe County is 2,964 square kilometres and contains six hamlets ecompassing 41 townships (including partial townships). Recreational lakes, such as Gull Lake, Sylvan Lake, Buffalo Lake, and Lacombe Lake, are subject to a high-frequency of vistors making the management of these waterbodies and the preservation of their value for generations to come a top priority.
