Okotoks' location in the middle of one of Alberta's finest recreation areas has established it as an outdoor place. The Town also serves as a gateway to the foothills and Kananaskis country. The area features varied terrains that lead to the discovery of a photo album full of rivers, valleys, meadows and mountains. Visitors can also enjoy the quiet serenity of museums, libraries, a peaceful walk on more than 40 km of paths in Okotoks, or The Station Cultural Centre in Okotoks. Okotoks offers, among a diverse range of activities, fishing or lazy summer day inner-tubing on the Sheep River, and access to three local golf courses to test your golfing skills. The Okotoks Flight Centre has established an enviable reputation for its flying lessons. Nearby is the Okotoks Bird Sanctuary, a refuge for prairie waterfowl. Okotoks' other recreational facilities include: 2 artificial ice rinks; six tennis courts; 15 parks; an indoor swimming pool; six-sheet curling rink; and more than 13 sports fields.
