Trails, Taps, True Love: A Romantic Trip in the Camrose Area
Updated: Apr 27
Whether you have just one day or a full weekend to explore, we have the perfect blend of romantic, fun, and diverse with a little bit of everything that's best in the Camrose area.
One Day Getaway- A Romantic Reset
Morning - Start off with a breakfast and latte from Strada Coffee Co.
Follow it up with a morning of pampering and a couple's massage at Cloud 9 Day Spas.
Afternoon - Step across the street for a light lunch at Kim's Vienamese Lunch Bar (she's got yummy gluten free options). Enjoy your lunch at Kim's or have a picnic at Mirror Lake!
Spend the afternoon exploring all the unique shops and boutiques including our local's recommendations:
Have a cute couples tasting at Vinesation Olive Oils and Vinegar
Get some flowers or plants from Beas Blooms or Pedersen's Florists
Chocolate and sweets from the Sweeterie
Get a custom fit at Bra Necessities
Evening - Enjoy a romantic dinner at The Borough Market Bistro followed by taking in a show at the Bailey Theatre.
A Weekend for the Romantics in the Camrose Area
Day 1 Morning - Spend the morning meandering the trails at Miquelon Lake Provincial Park (here's our recommended loops).
Day 1 Afternoon - Stop for lunch at the Whistle Stop Golf & Campground's restaurant, The Station. After some delicious food, try your hand with a bucket of balls at their driving range.
Continue your day by driving south to Tillicum Beach. If you have a boat, you can enjoy a leisurely paddle around Driedmeat Lake. Or, you can enjoy birdwatching/fishing from the shore.
Next stop will be at the Detention Brewery in Rosalind. They specialize in brewing beer, ironically, in the gymnasium of the founder's childhood school.
In springtime, you can also opt to stop at the Ferry Point Greenhouse to peruse their selection of plants and garden decor.
Day 1 Evening - Check in for your stay at Cherry Lane B&B and Cafe. Make sure to save room for their legendary cheesecake after supper!
Day 2 Morning - Get a hearty breakfast at Cherry Lane B&B and Cafe and ask for a bagged lunch to take to the next part of the journey.
The morning's activity will be a guided tour with La Prairieaire Eco Tours through the Hoodoos while learning about the early settlers and First Nations' who lived and traveled in this area.
You can also stop in at the Meeting Creek Heritage Railway Station & Grain Elevator Park for a tour of their facilities (call ahead) or take a self-guided tour past the grain elevator, stone labyrinth and by following interpretive signage along the Linear Park.
Day 2 Afternoon - Enjoy your bagged lunch while you make your way to Pelican Point for a round or two of mini golf. The beach is a great place for a relaxing dip in Buffalo Lake or a bit of sun tanning on shore.
Day 2 Evening - Cruise back into Camrose for a romantic dinner at Marrow. This restaurant is in a local landmark at the historic former feedmill, serving farm-to-table meals.
After supper, you can take in a romantic sunset at Telegraph Park (Hay Lakes) on your way home.
@FNF For couples planning the weekend route, are there recommended alternatives for rainy weather or seasonal closures, especially for the outdoor stops at Miquelon Lake, Tillicum Beach, and Pelican Point?
I enjoy reading suvichar because different thoughts can connect with different situations in our lives. One day a message about friendship may feel meaningful, while another day a thought about determination may provide motivation. This best suvichar variety makes inspirational content interesting to read. I believe the best thoughts are those that make us reflect on ourselves and encourage us to take positive action rather than simply offering temporary motivation.
