Provincial Parks

As the saying goes, “there is no Wi-Fi in the forest, but we promise you will find a better connection.”

BEAVER LAKE PROVINCIAL RECREATION AREA

Sand, sun and surf are all on the itinerary. The vast beach on the north shore of Beaver Lake beckons for a day of boating, fishing, sunbathing and swimming. Individual and group camping facilities are available for when the sun goes down.

SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL PROVINCIAL PARK

One of the most unique parks in the province, Sir Winston Churchill sprawls across seven islands in Lac La Biche Lake. The islands protect old-growth forests, where hundreds of bird species wait in the branches for you to spot them. The main islands are accessible by a causeway, and they feature a variety of camping options, including cabins and tipis, and year-round hiking trails through a special ecosystem hundreds of years in the making.

LAKELAND PROVINCIAL PARK AND PROVINCIAL RECREATION AREA

This park is all about size. A combined 590 square kilometres of protected area covers 11 major lakes, all connected by 45 kilometres’ worth of trails and portages through unspoiled wilderness. Mother Nature isn’t just your neighbour here – she’s your roommate.

LAKELAND CANOE CIRCUIT

Live like a modern-day voyageur and experience the boreal forest backcountry like never before. Alberta’s only backcountry canoe circuit takes ambitious paddlers on a three-day, 40-kilometre journey through the interior of Lakeland Provincial Park, to remote sites and hidden waters that others don’t get to see. See the following page for more information.

CROW LAKE PROVINCIAL PARK

Campers and paddlers who appreciate seclusion will find a lot to enjoy about Crow Lake. The impressive view of the lake from Highway 63 is just the start. Campground amenities are very basic and motorized watercraft are not permitted on the lake, so it’s just you and your paddle as you head over to spot wildlife in the nearby Crow Lake Ecological Reserve.
