& Area

Grande Prairie, along the Gateway to the Alaska Highway, is a modern city with shopping and cultural amenities equal to those of much larger cities. Recreation facilities provide hiking, bird-watching, paddle boats, fishing, swimming and golf. It is also a short drive to picturesque scenery and superb fishing and hunting areas. Grande Prairie also boasts several nesting sites for the endangered trumpeter swans. Plus, this is the home of the Great Northern Casino, the only-full service casino in the Peace Country. The city's Visitor Information Centre is open year-round at Centre 2000.
