Muir Lake
A small, aerated trout lake northeast of Stony Plain with a boardwalk, dock and picnic area. Pretty on a calm morning; the trout can be hard to catch from shore.
What visitors say
Muir Lake is a small lake about 10 km northeast of Stony Plain in Parkland County. Visitors like it most on still mornings, when fog lifts off the water and the only sound is the odd passing car. It's open to the wind, so calm days make the biggest difference.
The lake is stocked with rainbow trout each year and aerated in winter, and it's open to angling under Alberta's sportfishing regulations; check the current regulations for seasons and limits. Reviewers say the fish can be hard to find from shore, and one recommends getting a kayak out toward the deeper middle.
Parkland County runs a small day-use park here with plenty of parking, maps and signs, a boardwalk, a main dock and a small pier, picnic tables and fire pits. It suits a short walk, a picnic or an easy paddle.
