Camping & Hiking · Scenic Views · Alberta
A mountain provincial park in Kananaskis Country, AB, with lakes, abundant wildlife, many hiking and biking trails and well-kept campgrounds including full-hookup sites at Boulton Creek.
Peter Lougheed Provincial Park covers the Kananaskis Lakes area, and reviewers describe the views as some of the most panoramic they've seen. Visitors say it's less developed than Banff but the scenery rivals it, and it doesn't feel crowded. Upper Kananaskis Lake gets singled out as a must-see.
There are many day-use areas and campgrounds, and the park is called clean and well maintained. One family stayed at Boulton Creek campground with full RV hookups and found a well-stocked camp store and an ice cream shop. Cell service is limited, but Wi-Fi at the main visitor centre runs around the clock.
Hiking and biking are the main activities, with numerous trails and picnic spots. Wildlife sightings are common, and visitors recommend driving slowly both to take in the views and to avoid animals on the roads.
Bears are in the area, so carry bear spray and store food properly. Plan for patchy or no cell coverage.
