Driving to Flotten Lake Resort Limited from Edmonton, AB should take between 4 and 5 hours, depending on where in the city you are starting from. It is a simple drive with the biggest centers you go through being Smokey Lake and Bonneyville. For services, there are a number of gas stations on your route, one of our favourites is the Petro-Canada at Waskatenau (it has a great bakery!) and then Bonneyville would be the biggest center for groceries etc. There is a Wal-mart in Cold Lake, which is only about a 10 minute drive out of your way before you leave Alberta and enter Saskatchewan.
