Henderson Lake Park - Lethbridge Alberta Park

Alberta parks for picnicking and sightseeing

Making the best of a road trip with family for sport and sightseeing

Henderson Lake Park - Just over 2 hours south of Calgary is the City of Lethbridge, Alberta. Also known as the windy city Lethbridge is home to many cool sights to see and home to the picnic-worthy Henderson Lake Park. My son had his first Ju-Jitsu Tournament at the Canadian Martial Arts Centre in Lethbridge so l was excited for this road trip to watch him compete, and do some area sightseeing. Located on Mayor Magrath Drive the family-friendly Henderson Lake Park was an absolute gem of a find!
