Gull Lake is a lake in central Alberta, Canada. While called a lake, it is technically a slough.
It has a total surface of 80.6 square kilometers (31.1 sq mi), and a maximum depth of 8 meters (26 ft).[1] Its waters drain through a creek into the Blindman River and then in the Red Deer River.
The summer village of Gull Lake is developed on the southern shore, adjacent to Aspen Beach Provincial Park, along Highway 12. A campground is maintained on the western shore, close to the town of Rimbey. Sylvan Lake is located 20 km (12 mi) south from Gull Lake.
