Fallen Timber South Provincial Recreation Area is an Alberta Parks site in Kananaskis Country. The official page places it 13 kilometres west of Cochrane on Highway 1A and 52 kilometres north on Highway 40.
Alberta Parks describes a quiet, rustic getaway along Fallen Timber Creek and lists Red Rock Sawmills Ltd. as facility operator.
Fallen Timber South is built for campers who want a foothills base close to motorized trail systems. Alberta Parks lists one day-use area and one campground. Activities include camping, fishing, front-country hiking, off-site OHV riding, off-site snowmobiling, and geocaching.
The off-site access rules are a central feature. Alberta Parks says registered campers may off-load OHVs and travel to trails from their campsites. The activity note adds that developed OHV trails in the vicinity total 179 kilometres, with OHV off-loading and travel to trails from campsites permitted.
Winter trail users get a similar note. Alberta Parks says developed snowmobiling trails in the vicinity total 169 kilometres, and snowmobile off-loading within the campground and travel to trails from campsites are permitted.
Those permissions make Fallen Timber South distinct from the nearby Fallen Timber listing, where OHV off-loading is prohibited. Visitors should still verify current trail status, campground rules, and whether seasonal conditions support the trip.
Plan around creekside camping, day use, fishing, front-country hiking, geocaching, permitted OHV access to nearby trails, permitted snowmobile access, and foothills route planning.
Confirm campground status, OHV and snowmobile permissions, trail conditions, fishing regulations, maps, advisories, closures, weather, operator updates, and Alberta Parks guidance.
