Antler Lake
The Hamlet of Antler Lake is a picturesque community situated on the shores of Antler Lake , just 15 minutes east of Sherwood Park . The hamlet consists of 353 residents . Most reside on the eastern and southern shores of the lake , with a portion of the community built on Hazelnut Island .
Mr . Gregory , a gentleman of the area , developed the community in the early 1950s ; later in 1975 area residents formed the Antler Lake Community League ( ALCL ). For his work , Mr . Gregory had a park named after him – Gregory Park – which is located across from the Antler Lake Community Hall and has been designated as a natural area within the community .
In the early 1990s , the Uncas Community League , neighbours to Antler Lake , disbanded their league and joined ALCL .
