Just a rest stop along Highway 16 between Edmonton and Jasper. Talbot lake is one of my old haunts and a place where I have enjoyed many an hour fishing for Jack fish when I was growing up in Jasper.

These days, I rarely get to stop at the lake. Like most of the travellers along the highway, this is just a spot to stretch your legs or use the washrooms located beside the turn off.

For those interested in Fishing, the past summer, a 40+ lb. jack fish was caught less then forty yards from this spot. For those travelling along the highway, this is also the spot elk who frequently inhabit the banks.
