The town carries the name of the nearby lake, formed on the Hay River, that was so called due to its curved shape. The population of Rainbow Lake in the 2006 Canada Census was 767 residents.

Oil and Gas has been a lucrative industry in Northwest Alberta since the discovery of a major oil field in Rainbow Lake in 1965.

The ball diamonds are situated just outside the area complex. It is located in the down town area across from the health unit. In addition to the baseball diamonds and recreation center there is a tennis court and area for shooting baskets with friends. This area is free to use anytime and is maintained by the town.

Residents make their own fun as well. This year a beach volley ball area was set up in the parking lot of the Rainbow center. Biking, quading, roller-blading and snowmobiling are some of the activities that you can find for your family to enjoy. There is also a walking path in progress for those who enjoy a leisurely stroll any time of day.

This is more than just a place for golfers. The clubhouse is open for public dining in their lounge. It is a comfortable place for breakfast, lunch, dinner or a coffee or cool one with friends. The 9-hole course is always well maintained and a significant amount of work has been done over the last few years. It is situated on municipal land but is operated by a volunteer executive.

Rainbow Lake has many unique features. One is the use of one church for all fellowships and denominations. The building is owned by the Catholic Diocese and designated as a community church. The building was rebuilt in 1999 after a fire destroyed the original building. You will find yourself welcome at any of the services.

Raimbow Lake has a continual flow of people into town, or through town, who are here for a few weeks or a day. They differ from being Engineers who contribute to reservoir development, drilling crews on a rig, or Grandparents up to see the newest addition to their family. All the individuals in town, no matter how long they stay, have the ability to impact the quality of life here. Whatever their passion, there is always the opportunity to contribute to the community.
