About Crimson Lake Provincial Park

Crimson Lake Provincial Park
 

Crimson Lake Provincial Park is located in central Alberta, Canada, approximately 15 km west of the town of Rocky Mountain House. The park is celebrated for its picturesque lake, lush forests, and diverse wildlife. Encompassing a blend of boreal forest and wetland habitats, it provides an excellent example of Alberta's natural biodiversity. Established in 1950, the park offers recreational opportunities including camping, hiking, boating, fishing, and wildlife viewing. The park is particularly popular for its vibrant fall colors and serene lakeside views. Crimson Lake itself is the centerpiece, offering excellent fishing and paddle sports opportunities. Visitors may explore a network of trails that wind through forests rich with wildlife such as deer, black bears, and a variety of bird species. In winter, the park becomes a hub for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Its proximity to the historic town of Rocky Mountain House makes it an accessible destination for both day-trippers and those seeking longer stays.
