Fire Ban in Effect

Please note that there is a fire ban in effect. Much of Southern Alberta, including Lake McGregor Country Estates and Little Bow Resort, in under this fire ban. The warm dry conditions are helping the farmers get their seeding done quickly, but we need some rain to help get some moisture in the ground to help things grow, and get rid of the dry conditions.

Directions to Lake McGregor Country Estates

One of the challenges that I have found in marketing Lake McGregor Country Estates is that people get confused about how to get there. For example, they follow the signs that say Lake McGregor, or McGregor Lake, and assume that they are going in the right direction. Well of course they are! However, when they get to that destination, they see the lake...and prairie...a few trees... and a campground. "Where is the clubhouse???" "This is not what that silly real estate salesman told us would be here!" Well...they were at the provincial campground. Yes, a campground...NOT the resort. So, here's the directions that will get you to the actual Lake McGregor Country Estates RV and Cottage Resort. If you are travelling from Calgary, Strathmore, or Airdrie or somewhere in that area, travel south on Highway 23 until you reach the south end of the Town of Vulcan. Yes, there is a space ship in Vulcan so it should be fairly easy to spot. At the south end of Vulcan, turn east (left) on Secondary Highway #534. This secondary highway eventually turns into Secondary Highway #531. I am not sure why, but it just does. Anyhow, it will take you around 20 minutes or so from Vulcan to reach Lake McGregor Country Estates. It is about 32 or 33 km from Vulcan. The resort is on the south side (right side) of the road. There is a big sign there, along with flags. "You have reached your destination!" Coming from the south, say from Lethbridge, just follow Highway #23 until you reach Vulcan, turn east on Secondary Highway #534, and same results as above. Coming from Medicine Hat or Brooks, take Highway #36 south to Secondary Highway #539. This highway will take you right to the Village of Lomond. From Lomond, continue west on Secondary Highway #531. The resort will be about 15 minutes away.
