Wabamun, Alberta
Many brought goods and animals on train cars as far as Wabamun and then transferred to wagons drawn by oxen or horses for the remainder of trips to homesteads in the Lac Ste.[6] In 1984, it hosted the first ever Grand North American Old Time Fiddle Championship, which acted as a fundraiser for the community.Due to the lack of a cool–off pond, the water used to cool the internal systems was deposited back into the lake, which enhanced the weed population dramatically.These plans included further expansion of Waterfront Park, the largest boat launch on the lake, as well as Discovery Wharf, a project that would see the development of approximately 0.40 km2 (100 acres) of lakefront property.[citation needed] The lake itself is populated with northern pike, walleye, whitefish, yellow perch, and white suckers.
