I grew up in Northern Ontario with 10 lakes 15 minutes from my door, fishing, swimming, growing up was and still is amazing.Cold Lake is a class by itself, hands down!! To be able to catch 20 pound lake trout within 6 minutes of my house,big walleye, pike, perch,to be able to watch fighter jets right above my head while Im out trolling around on the lake, all this plus more right at my door step, absolutely amazing place to live, work and raise a family, definately a gem that all Albertians should experience!!
