Take a well-deserved break from your travels along the Yellowhead Highway at Innisfree. Stretch your legs, enjoy some scenery, or explore the hidden village of 235 residents.
A designated watchable wildlife area offers a great chance to observe some of the birds and mammals that call Kalyna Country home. Located one kilometre south of Innisfree, the spectacular Birch Lake is especially suitable for bird watching. While there, enjoy the day-use facilities for a picnic or camp overnight in a peaceful well-equipped campground.
On the north side of the highway, venture into our hidden village - Innisfree. Established in 1908, Innisfree's history stems back to a visit by the president of the Canadian Bank of Commerce who said that he would build a bank in the village if they would change the name of the town from Delnorte to Innisfree. As they say, the rest is history. Visit the tourist information center in the Prairie Bank of Commerce Museum on mainstreet that is open daily 10 - 4 pm in the summer.
Just west of the town on Highway 16 is the Innisfree Fish and Game Trout Pond, stocked for your fishing enjoyment. Plan to attend the Annual Agricultural Fair in August. Not far down the road, the Village of Minburn also has an Agricultural Fair & Horse Show in August.
This is an approximate location. Please contact the owner for exact directions.
