Waskahegan Dark Site
Edmonton Centre members rarely use this site any more because the site is not substantially more convenient to access from Edmonton, and the night sky is noticeably darker at the Blackfoot Dark Site. The Waskahegan site is accessed by following Wye Road east through Sherwood Park until you get to the intersection with Township Road 524. Turn left at this point and continue on until 524 "T"-intersects with North Cooking Lake Road (Range Road 210). Turn right, and go approximately 500 metres south until you reach the Warden's office (on your left). Turn left and proceed to the site.
