La Biche River Wildland Provincial Park | Alberta

La Biche River Wildland Provincial Park is an Alberta Parks wildland provincial park in the North region. The official page places it 50 kilometres northeast of Athabasca on Highway 55 and 15 kilometres north on Highway 63.

Alberta Parks lists one campground entry and no developed day-use area count.

Why Visit La Biche River Wildland Provincial Park

La Biche River Wildland Provincial Park protects an undisturbed native boreal forest landscape of wetlands and dense forests of poplar, aspen, spruce, birch, and fir. Alberta Parks says the area provides habitat for black bear, lynx, wolverine, woodland caribou, moose, and beaver.

Access planning is specific. The official page says the park is best accessed through Poachers Landing Provincial Recreation Area, then by trails and upstream boating routes into the wildland park. Those trails support OHV, snowmobile, horseback riding, and boating access, but Alberta Parks states that off-trail use is prohibited and visitors must use existing trails only.

Activities include backcountry camping, birding, canoeing and kayaking, dog sledding, fishing, backcountry hiking, equestrian use, hunting, on-site and off-site OHV riding, power boating, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, tobogganing, wildlife viewing, and winter camping.

Random backcountry camping is permitted, but there are no campsites or facilities, and no permit or fee is required. Horseback riding uses informal trails in the area.

Things To Do

Plan around random camping, Poachers Landing access, paddling, power boating, fishing, hunting, horseback riding, existing-trail OHV use, snowmobiling, dog sledding, and wildlife viewing.

Planning Notes

Confirm access routes, existing-trail rules, random camping guidance, fishing and hunting regulations, AIS precautions, maps, weather, advisories, and Alberta Parks updates.
