All lakes contain blue-green algae - to an extent - but not all bloom severely like the nutrient-rich lakes do.
There are plenty of good lakes in the Whitecourt, Bonnyville, Athabasca, and Lac La Biche Regions (and even east of Edmonton), but you may have to drive 2 hours+ to get to them. E.g. Ethel, Marie, Minnie, Fawcett, Fishing, Fork, Frog, Goose, Wolf, Tucker, Island, McLeod, Smoke, etc.
By the way, Long Lake Prov Park gets green.
