For Crowsnest, as well as anywhere in deep southern Alberta, the wind is the worst detractor. It is awful when it blows. I'd take snow, rain, locusts anything before wind. It ruins your outdoor time.
Apart from that, there's not much for lakes but lots of outdoor activity. Mountain bikers are finding it. Always been atvs. Have heard it's still a bit of a rough town in some respects (drugs, some unsavory people).
It's been trying to develop into a recreational haven for 30 or more years with little success. They do have 2 breweries now for a plus.
And crowsnest golf course might be the best destination course in Southern Alberta.
