Blackstone Provincial Recreation Area is an Alberta Parks recreation area about 30 kilometres north of Nordegg, off Highway 734 along the Chungo Road.
Alberta Parks says the Blackstone Group Site sits along the banks of the Blackstone River. The site is secluded and offers direct river access for water recreation, including canoeing, kayaking, and fishing just steps from the door.
Blackstone is a river-focused group and camping destination. Alberta Parks lists camping and fishing, with Blackstone Campground and Blackstone Group Use identified on the official page.
The river is a major draw. Alberta Parks says the Blackstone River is abundant with bull trout, cutthroat, and mountain whitefish, making it a favourite place for local anglers and fly-fishing enthusiasts. Canoeing access is from the lower campground.
Amenities are practical and specific: the official page names a cookhouse shelter, fire pits, and a vault toilet. OHV riding and snowmobiling are listed as off-site activities, but Alberta Parks notes that OHV and snowmobile off-loading within the campground and travel to trails from campsites are prohibited.
That makes pre-trip staging decisions as important as campsite selection.
Plan around camping, group use, river fishing, canoeing or kayaking from the lower campground, cookhouse shelter use, and nearby off-site OHV or snowmobile trail research.
Keep vehicle and trail staging plans aligned with Alberta Parks restrictions.
Confirm campground or group-use availability, river conditions, fishing regulations, fire rules, OHV and snowmobile staging limits, road conditions, maps, advisories, and Alberta Parks updates.
