Fort McMurray is surrounded by hundreds of kilometres of boreal forest, which makes embracing the outdoors daily an easy goal. The 130 km of trails in the city are great for cross-country skiing, casual strolls, cycling or just getting lost.
Lights out, look up: Fort Mac is one of the best places in this hemisphere to check out nature's light show that is the northern lights. Late September to early May give you the best view.
Whether you enjoy the outdoors and nature with a walk down Birchwood Trails, or a great round of golf at Miskanaw Golf Club, or if you prefer indoor entertainment at places like Points North Gallery, Aim High Park, or Mr. E’s Solve-It-Tutorium, Fort McMurray will have you bustling from sunup to sundown.
When the night falls, head out of town to catch Northern Lights, the mesmerizing displays of light that appear in the night time northern skies, usually during clear evenings from October to March.
