As the days start to lengthen, we often start daydreaming about spring and summer about the arrival of spring.  We can all start to plan what activities we will engage in come the summertime.  For those that love boating, living in Chestermere  is a real draw.  Chestermere is lucky to be one of a few communities in Albert

a with a built-in lake.  There are very few lakes or reservoirs to be found in the dry southeast regions of the province.  The size of Chestermere lake is also unique.  At a size of 2.7 km², the size of the lake is comparable to other lakes in more northerly areas of the province.   A 2004 Province of Alberta study showed that almost 20% of households actively participate in motor boating .     For these families, Chestermere lake is a great draw to people looking to do more boating near their home. 

 The Town of Chestermere  provides a boat launch facility available to the general public for the launching of power craft at John Peake Memorial Park. The launch is available free to residents, and for a fee to non-residents.  Many residents also prefer to boat at Chestermere lake versus other spots, as you are permitted to use a motorboat to waterski.  Many residents also enjoy some of the other perks of living alongside a lake, including winter sports such as snowmobiling and ice skating.  In the summer, others enjoy swimming, sailing, fishing, and the great recreational opportunities along the lake.   If the idea of living and playing next to a beautiful large lake appeals to you, contact me to find out more about living in Chestermere.
