Fallen Timber Provincial Recreation Area is an Alberta Parks site in Kananaskis Country. The official page places it 25 kilometres northwest of Sundre off Highway 22 and lists Red Rock Sawmills Ltd. as facility operator.
Alberta Parks describes a peaceful, basic camping experience in rolling foothills northwest of Water Valley, near Fallen Timber Creek.
Fallen Timber is a rustic campground for visitors who want a simple foothills base close to creek country, fishing, and nearby trail riding. Alberta Parks lists one campground and no developed day-use area count, so overnight camping is the main reason to plan around the site.
Activities include camping, canoeing and kayaking, fishing, and off-site OHV riding. The OHV rule is important. Alberta Parks says developed trails are in the vicinity, but OHV off-loading within the campground and travel to trails from campsites are prohibited. The page also tells visitors to keep OHVs on trailers in the recreation area.
That distinction keeps Fallen Timber from being mistaken for an on-site riding area. It can be part of a foothills trail trip, but staging and travel rules need to be checked before arrival.
The official description emphasizes a laid-back camping experience, families, nature lovers, evergreens, fresh mountain air, and Fallen Timber Creek. Visitors should bring a self-contained mindset and confirm current operating details before relying on services.
Plan around rustic camping, fishing, paddling research, Fallen Timber Creek scenery, nearby developed OHV trail checks, foothills route planning, and quiet campground time.
Confirm campground status, OHV trailer and staging rules, fishing regulations, maps, advisories, closures, weather, operator updates, and Alberta Parks guidance.
