Local Attractions |
The first Native
inhabitants lived for thousands of years hunting bison
(which existed in herds of hundreds of thousands), fishing
on the seemingly numberless lakes, and supplementing their
diets with berries, roots and herbs.
Of particular interest to visitors to the Parkland are the
churches. Never was the burden of homesteading too great,
nor resources too scarce, for the construction in each town
of one or more churches, often modest in dimensions, but
grand in design, in the true spirit of Old World
architecture.
The traditional onion shaped domes are the dominant feature of most
historic Parkland churches. Nearly any church you find in
the Parkland will be worth a closer look. You’ll find them
in every town, along the highway, and hidden among groves of
trees down little-used side roads.

History
The Parkland region that surrounds Roblin provides many
opportunities to view natural wildlife. Large stands of
aspen and poplar forest blanket much this area, and provide
hiding spots and cover for a variety of furred and feathered
wildlife of all sizes and kinds.
Goose Lake, located right inside the town, lends the
community's residents and visitors the feeling of living at
the lake year-round.
