Jackfish Lake Provincial Recreation Area

Alberta Parks
Alberta

what to expect

On the shores of a foothills lake, there is a boat launch and pier for boating, canoeing and fishing. OHV and snowmobiling trails are nearby. While campers may take advantage of the proximity to off-highway vehicle (OHV) trails, off-loading or operating OHVs inside the park is strictly prohibited. OHVs must remain on trailers until they reach the nearby trail systems and staging areas.
