Breathtakingly beautiful sunset out on the lake after a magical day on the water. Can't wait to do it again!
It started out as a gas station and convenience store with only 6 flavors of ice cream. However, they soon realized that selling ice cream and beach toys was much more fun than selling gas and that was when The Big Moo in Sylvan Lake, Alberta, was born. There are now 80 flavors of premium ice cream that are served in homemade waffle cones, burgers, wraps, rice bowls and many other yummy treats. (July 2019)
