Whitney’s guidebook
City/town information
Fort McMurray is seldom viewed as a destination in itself. Originally established as a northern fur trade post and now revolving almost entirely around the oil industry. There are many places to eat, drink and other casual entertainments within town, I will be sharing some of my favourite places. Lastly, if you enjoy being outdoors; there is a hiking group that typically goes on different trails every day of the week. You can find them on the app "meetup" under the name "Fort McMurray Hike More Worry Less".

Personally, this is my go-to place, especially in the summer. This hideaway patio restaurant is newly opened with a relaxing view of the Miskanaw Golf course. The music is great here as well as the drinks and food.
