Trail riding horses are available for hire at Old Entrance and we also have overnight holding corrals for guests' horses. Dogs are welcome, but are not permitted free-run inside of the cabins and must be kept under strict control at all times when outside. To maintain the tranquillity of our river valley, ATVs (all terrain vehicles) are not allowed to be off-loaded or operated on our property. However, surrounding crown (public) lands provide endless trails and old roads for ATV operation with few restictions. One very popular area is Brule Lake sand dunes.

The beauty and peacefulness of this site are not our only assets, it is a prime location that is still the "Entrance" to many famous local sites and to a wide variety of year round activities. Your stay at Old Entrance Bed 'n Breakfast can be as slow or fast paced as you wish.

William A. Switzer Provincial Park is just ten minutes north where lakes await you for fishing, boating and swimming. The Athabasca Nordic Centre provides world class cross-country skiing. Miette Hot Springs in Jasper National Park is little more than a half hour drive.

Local Fishing: Athabasca River hosts numerous types of fish, including northern pike, mountain white fish, bull trout, native rainbow trout, arctic grayling, brown trout, and more! Athabasca River is a fast, broad-shouldered glacial river that for most of the summer is at high water and is either milky or muddy. This river beginning at Columbia Ice Fields flows northeast and eventually empties into Lake Athabasca. When it flows clear in early spring and late summer or fall it does hold a few huge bull trout (catch and release) and northern pike. During summer for rainbows, brookies or whitefish you're better off trying smaller streams or lakes. Oil and logging roads provide easy access to tributaries of Berland and McLeod rivers such as Wildhay, Little Berland, Gregg, Embarras, Erith, Sundance and many others. Popular fishing lakes within easy driving distance of Old Entrance are Kinky, Wildhorse, Mary Gregg, Jarvis, Blue, Graveyard, Cache, Gregg, No Name, Petite and Dunn.
