About Calling Lake

Overview

Calling Lake is a tranquil lakeside hamlet in northern Alberta, situated within the Municipal District of Opportunity No. 17. Known for its beautiful boreal forest setting and the expansive freshwater lake that gives the community its name, the area offers a tight-knit, rural atmosphere. While the year-round population is small, the hamlet becomes a vibrant recreational retreat during the summer months as seasonal cottagers and outdoor enthusiasts arrive to enjoy the region's natural beauty.

Location

Located on the eastern shore of Calling Lake, the hamlet is accessed directly via Highway 813. It sits approximately 55 kilometres north of the town of Athabasca and about two and a half hours north of Edmonton. The community's footprint includes the Jean Baptiste Gambler 183 Indian reserve of the Bigstone Cree Nation, seamlessly blending the local settlement with stunning waterfront vistas and dense northern landscapes.

Housing character

The real estate landscape in Calling Lake features a mix of year-round single-family homes, rustic log cabins, and seasonal summer cottages. Properties range from modest off-water dwellings to highly desirable lakefront lots with direct water access. The local market is generally accessible and positioned in the mid-range for rural recreational properties. Homes typically see an turnaround time, with a that appeals to both permanent residents and vacationers seeking a lakeside retreat.

Schools

Education in the community is anchored by Calling Lake School, which provides learning programs for students from Kindergarten through Grade 12. The school serves as an important community hub for local youth. For highly specialized educational programs or post-secondary options, families generally look to the nearby town of Athabasca.

Transit

Calling Lake is a rural, car-dependent community with no dedicated public transit system. Highway 813 serves as the primary transportation corridor, connecting the hamlet to Athabasca to the south and Wabasca to the north. Residents and seasonal visitors rely entirely on personal vehicles for daily commuting, running errands, and accessing nearby recreational sites.

Shopping and dining

Local commercial amenities are focused on daily necessities and convenience. Establishments like Moosehorn Market, LA Convenience Store, and RaceTrak Gas provide groceries, fuel, and basic household items to residents and campers. The J.B. Gambler Store also serves the community's immediate needs. For larger grocery hauls, major retail chains, and a wider variety of dining options, residents make the 45-minute drive south to Athabasca.

Parks and recreation

Outdoor recreation is the defining feature of the area, highlighted by Calling Lake Provincial Park and the Calling Lake Municipal Campground. The massive 138-square-kilometre lake is highly regarded for its phenomenal fishing—particularly for walleye, yellow perch, and northern pike—as well as power boating, water skiing, and kayaking. Within the hamlet, residents enjoy a local recreation centre, an arena, a summer spray park, and extensive trails for ATV riding and hiking.

Lifestyle

Life in Calling Lake revolves heavily around the outdoors and the shifting seasons. The community derives its name from the Cree word 'Kito-Sakahekan,' referencing the echoing sounds of the lake's ice cracking in the winter. Summers are lively and water-centric, filled with angling, swimming, and lakeside campfires, while winters offer a quiet, rugged charm that is perfect for ice fishing, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing.
