Penhold Travel Guide

Welcome to Penhold, AB!

Offering warm and welcoming hospitality, Penhold is a vibrant, family-friendly town that is conveniently located on Highway 2A between Red Deer and Innisfail in Alberta's Heartland. Due to its great location, Penhold has the advantage of retaining all the charm that comes with living in a small town without lacking the amenities of a large city, which makes it an ideal place to raise a family. Before becoming a village in 1904, Penhold was one of the whistle stops along the Canadian Pacific Railway. The village later became a town in 1981 due to a growing population in the late 1970s. Plenty of recreational opportunities are available in Penhold, as well as in the nearby area. The town is close to the Red Deer River, Pine Lake and Sylvan Lake, all offering year-round fun. Another nearby attraction is The Jungle Farm, which has been in the Innisfail area since 1897 and offers farm tours and a seasonal General Store.
