Carmacks is a very diverse community. For the most part, its residents enjoy the rural wilderness lifestyle and all that it has to offer. Hunting, fishing, trapping, berry-picking, hiking, snowmobiling and the "great outdoors" are more than just pastimes. They are a way of life.
The Carmacks municipal government employs a full-time recreation director to provide a wide variety of recreational activities for youth, and to coordinate with other local committees and organizations to host numerous community and family gatherings.
The community has a heated swimming pool for summer use, a multipurpose outdoor skateboard/rollerblade/ice rink, golf course, hiking trails, three-lane curling rink, cross-country ski and snowmobile trails, historical sites and buildings, archaeological sites, and First Nation interpretive centre and traditional craft shop.
