The massive Buffalo Lake is one of Alberta’s best-kept secrets. Even though it was a hot summer day the vast beach was almost empty. A paraglider, however, enjoys the empty lake near Rochon Sands July 5. Buffalo Lake Provincial Park is about 40 minutes northeast of Red Deer in Stettler County. (Lisa Joy/Stettler Independent)
