A large cabin-going community exists during the summer, although the village is populated year round. Local sites include Wabamun Lake, the village marina and pier, several restaurants including Smoky's Grill [1], Derby's General Store, a public library, Trickle Creek MiniGolf [2], Pineridge Golf Resort [3] and several RV parks including Kokanee Springs RV Park [4].

The lake itself has a large population of Northern Pike along with whitefishand Yellow Perch.

[edit] Oil spill

On August 3, 2005, 45 cars of a CN Rail train derailed on the shores of Wabamun Lake, near Wabamun, 14 miles (23 km) east of the village, spilling their contents of more than 700,000 litres (154,000 Imp gal) of a variety of fuel oils and pole treating oils into the lake. Much effort has been made to reverse the environmental effects of the spill. It is expected that there will be no adverse long term effects resulting from this spill.
