Bob Creek Wildland Provincial Park is an Alberta Parks wildland provincial park in southwest Alberta between the Livingstone Range of the Rocky Mountain Front, the Oldman River, and Highway 22.
Alberta Parks says Bob Creek and Black Creek Heritage Rangeland surround "The Whaleback" and together protect the largest intact tract of montane landscape in Alberta, supporting elk herds, grizzly bears, wolves, and historic land uses.
Bob Creek is a backcountry landscape for hikers, riders, anglers, and careful route planners. Alberta Parks lists one day-use area and activities including backcountry hiking, fishing, and equestrian use.
Access requires attention. Alberta Parks says public access into the park is restricted and often passes through private land, so visitors should obey signs and respect private property. Random backcountry camping is permitted in the park, but not within the confines of Bob Creek Staging Area.
Trail and OHV details are also important. The official page says the main access for designated OHV trails is Bob Creek Staging Area, but all trails north and west of trail marker 7 are closed to recreational OHV use to protect federally designated critical habitat for Westslope Cutthroat Trout.
Plan around backcountry hiking, equestrian use, fishing, random backcountry camping outside the staging area, Whaleback landscape appreciation, and designated trail research.
Hunters should note that hunting is subject to wildlife regulations for WMU 308.
Confirm private-land access, staging rules, camping limits, OHV closures, fishing and hunting regulations, maps, advisories, weather, and Alberta Parks instructions.
