Smoky Lake County Launches Webmap Site!
Smoky Lake County has launched WebMap, an on-line mapping program that was developed by Accurate Assessment Group Ltd. WebMap users will be able to see and customize digital maps of the County.
WebMap can layer information such as boundaries, roads, land use information, towns and villages, and significant locations such as parks and cemeteries.
The public can access WebMap from their personal computers through the County’s website, and locate their property and other information that is located in the County.
The County was very careful to ensure that no private ownership or property assessment information is on the site.
The amount of information provided through WebMap is significant so first time users should take time to play with it and find its many benefits.

Iron Horse Trail
Experience walking, wagon and cycling adventures as well as snowmobile, ATV and horseback riding on the Iron Horse Trail!
The Iron Horse Trail is a most remarkable multi-use recreational corridor, taking its name from its former use as a railroad. Because this corridor has been in existence since the beginning of the twentieth century, the ecology of the Trail is relatively untouched.
The Trail runs through mixed wood forest, farmland, crosses streams and rivers, and skirts lakes. The user of the Trail will find a total of eighteen railroad trestles, those marvels of engineering that have stood the test of time.
Watch video of trail.
