Summer is fading, and fall is beginning to settle across the Lakelands. 🍂

The mornings are cooler, the evenings arrive a little earlier, and the first hints of gold are starting to appear across the forests, fields and trails.

It’s a beautiful time to explore the region.

Fall brings quieter roads, crisp air, changing colours, peaceful trails and a whole new way to experience the landscapes of northeastern Alberta.

Whether it’s one last summer getaway or your first autumn adventure, there’s still plenty of season left to discover.

Summer fades. Fall begins. The Lakelands are waiting.

🍂 Take the path less travelled this fall.

Across Alberta’s Lakelands, autumn brings cooler temperatures, changing forests and some of the best conditions of the year for getting out on the trails.

Our blog, Five Fine Trails for Fall, explores five routes worth adding to your seasonal adventure list — from the massive Beaver River Trestle on Alberta’s Iron Horse Trail to the Glacial Esker Trail at Whitney Lakes, the old-growth forests of Sir Winston Churchill Provincial Park, the trails of Vermilion Provincial Park and the lakeshore at Moose Lake.

Whether you’re looking for a short lakeside walk, a longer hike or simply somewhere quiet to experience fall in Northeast Alberta, there’s a trail for you.

Authentic Alberta is Indigenous Alberta.

Across every region of the Lakelands, Indigenous culture, history, land and experience are part of the story.

This week, we’re highlighting some of the Indigenous tourism operators helping visitors experience that story firsthand — through culture, food, history, land-based experiences, gathering places and the people who continue to shape this region.

From one end of the Lakelands to the other, these are not side trips.

They are part of the destination.

This is Authentic Alberta.

Follow along this week as we feature some of the core Indigenous tourism experiences across the Lakelands.

🐝 Wednesday Operator Feature: Christy Creek Honey

This week’s featured operator takes us into the Boreal Forest Region, where Christy Creek Honey is creating memorable experiences around bees, honey and rural Alberta life.

Located near Lac La Biche, this family-operated apiary offers private bee tours, honey harvesting experiences, indoor observation hive tours and hands-on beeswax activities. Visitors can suit up in a real beekeeping suit, open a hive alongside an experienced beekeeper and learn how honey travels from the flowers to the hive and eventually into the jar.

Christy Creek Honey was also a participating host during Alberta Open Farm Days, welcoming guests to watch bees at work, explore the farm, browse locally produced honey and gifts, and learn more about the important role pollinators play in Alberta agriculture. In 2026, the operation was recognized as Agritourism Alberta’s Farm of the Year.

Whether you are interested in beekeeping, searching for locally produced honey or looking for a unique family experience, Christy Creek Honey offers a sweet reason to explore the Boreal Forest Region.

Discover Christy Creek Honey and more local operators through Travel Lakeland.
