Pinnacle Trails Resort Inc. (“the Resort”) is a year-round opportunity for individuals and their families to enjoy the camping experience. The Resort provides this opportunity for its residents through a long-term lease of their lots. Management’s goal is to provide a safe, fun, family-friendly atmosphere for all of our residents. The Resort’s owners and their families believe the Resort will provide the opportunity to build long-lasting memories for its residents. We want to provide our residents with the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors and the spectacular amenities offered within and surrounding the Resort.

The Resort operates on a year-round basis. However, certain sites are only available with limited services during the winter months. Seasonal lots shall be open with full services from May 1st – October 10th (the summer season), subject to change based on unusual weather conditions at the sole discretion of the property manager. There shall be a number of amenities offered to our tenants, including the seasonal beach, volleyball court, horseshoe pit, sports court, picnic areas, community fire pits, mini-golf and many others. The Resort also features surrounding amenities, including trails for ATV, snowmobiling, mountain biking and horseback riding.

 

Additional amenities can be found in the town of Edson, which is located approximately eight minutes away.
