Stavely is a small southern Alberta town in the Willow Creek area of the Foothills — ranching country at its most authentic, where cattle operations have worked the same land for generations and the Rocky Mountain front range is a constant presence on the western horizon. The town is modest in size but carries the genuine identity of a foothills ranching community, with the Willow Creek rodeo tradition alive and well.

The Porcupine Hills to the west offer exceptional upland hunting and horseback country, and the surrounding Willow Creek Municipal District has some of Alberta's finest dryland ranching land.
