Telford Lake

A gem in the middle of the City of Leduc, Telford Lake (see it on our map) offers a peaceful yet active location for area residents and guests. Water sports such as kayaking  canoeing, and non-motorized boating activities are popular on the lake. Telford Lake has over 3 kilometers of paved trails for you to enjoy. Please see the City of Leduc map of the area.

 Enjoy the beautiful scenery along the walk paths.



There are several rest areas with benches along the trails.












Enjoy bird watching and other wildlife year round. While we were visiting the lake, the pelicans were putting on a great show, flying low over the water from pier to pier while the Dragon Boat race participants practiced.






The Leduc + District Senior Centre provides programs and activities at Telford House to enhance seniors' life styles include floor curling, bridge, crib, pool, painting classes, stained glass classes, choir, table tennis, computer mentoring and a lunch program.  Telford House, which is located on the very west end of the lake, is also used to promote health care issues such as the Telford Day Program, Stroke Recovery,  Low Vision Sight Seekers meetings and as a casual drop-in for seniors to meet socially. Please see their website for more information and see our map for the location.

Telford Lake is also home to the Leduc Boat Club which offers many paid programs and rentals for teams or individuals.
