Carson-Pegasus Provincial Park is an Alberta Parks provincial park north of Whitecourt. Alberta Parks places it six kilometres west of Whitecourt on Highway 43, 11 kilometres north on Highway 32, and five kilometres east on the access road.
The official page lists two day-use areas, one campground, and three group-use areas.
Carson-Pegasus is a boreal lake camping park with a broad activity list. Alberta Parks describes Carson-Pegasus Campground as nestled in trees beside a quiet lake, with relaxation and recreation in northern Alberta's boreal forest.
Visitors can fish from the province's only lakeside sea-wall, paddle McLeod Lake, explore hiking and biking trails, or spend a beach day in clear water. The campground offers two playgrounds and a range of sites for RVs and tents.
Activities include beach use, birding, camping, canoeing and kayaking, fishing, front-country hiking, ice fishing, power boating, off-site snowmobiling, swimming, wildlife viewing, mountain biking and cycling, and fat biking. Alberta Parks also names birds such as loons, grebes, goshawks, ruffed grouse, great horned owls, pileated woodpeckers, blue jays, grey jays, chickadees, grosbeaks, and crossbills.
That range lets visitors build either a quiet lake weekend or a more active trail-and-water itinerary.
Plan around camping, group use, beach time, paddling, fishing, sea-wall access, hiking, biking, birding, wildlife viewing, ice fishing, and seasonal service checks.
Off-season services can change, so read current advisories before arrival.
Confirm campground reservations, group-use access, water and dock status, fishing regulations, boating conditions, maps, advisories, weather, and current Alberta Parks instructions.
