Smoky Lake County |
| |
|
| |
The County of Smoky Lake is located in the North Eastern Alberta, approximately 120 kilometres from Edmonton. Primary natural resources in the area include large deposits of natural gas, extensive areas of peat, some forested areas suitable for logging; a large number of lakes and natural areas attractive to vacationers and wildlife enthusiasts, and a 80 kilometre stretch of the north shore of the North Saskatchewan River, virtually undeveloped.
The major economic base of the County is agriculture. The area has grazing lands to the north, good quality flat crop lands to the west, a climate suitable for most crops, ready access to processing facilities, and a large domestic market in Edmonton.
The forest industry has a significant impact on the County as a result of the Pine Ridge Forest Nursery, a world-scale facility providing tree seedlings for reforestation projects throughout the province. The location of this facility has encouraged development in a nearby rural location of a privately operated greenhouse producing nursery stock for reforestation purposes.
