Marie Reine

Marie Reine is a hamlet located in northwestern Alberta, within Northern Sunrise County. It is situated approximately 18 km south of the Town of Peace River, spanning four quarter sections split by Highway 744.

This French Canadian community began between 1949 and 1952 when settlers from Quebec and France migrated west in search of a better future. The hamlet’s unique community plan, laid out by Pierre L’Abbé and Paul Pothier, features twenty-acre strips of land abutting Highway 744.

Marie Reine offers several opportunities for entertainment and recreation. Residents and visitors can enjoy a leisurely walk along the hamlet's paved walking path, and families can make use of the playground at the cultural centre. A short drive will take you to the Judah Cemetery and Sagitawa Lookout, where breathtaking views of the Smoky and Peace Rivers await. For a tranquil afternoon, visit Murphy’s Flats, a scenic day-use area in the Smoky River Valley, perfect for picnicking by the river and enjoying the natural surroundings.
