Lac Ste Anne - public boat launch

[FearNoFish]

Hey All,
Is there a day use boat launch with parking on Lac St Anne? Online reports say no parking at the Alberta Beach Pier. Any suggestions?

Thanks
Brandon

The main boat launch is in the middle of town next to the Beachside Market. There is no parking at the launch. There is a parking lot for trailers a short distance next to Mommas Restaurant which you will drive past on the way in to town. There is also overflow parking located east of 50t Street (adjacent to the Heritage Park and Ball Diamonds) and located behind the A.B. Senior’s Centre.

The main launch is very busy and full of non-boat launching vehicles and people milling about unaware of what a boat launch is actually for. I would arrive early and leave late. Week days are as busy as weekends as of late.

You can also launch at Westcove which is West of Alberta Beach off of hwy 633. There are two launches there, one with good parking nearby, but also likely busy at peak hours.

West cove launch is closed due to high water.

Id suggest a different lake. I live 5 minutes from ste anne and you couldnt pay me to go participate in that crap show.

How is the water quality? Green soup or not bad?
