Lineham Provincial Recreation Area is an Alberta Parks recreation area in Kananaskis, 45 kilometres southwest of Longview on Highway 541 and 10 kilometres north on Forestry Trunk Road, Highway 40. Alberta Parks lists one day-use area.
The official page says a Kananaskis Conservation Pass is required to park a vehicle in Kananaskis and the Bow Valley.
Lineham is a straightforward Kananaskis day-use page for visitors looking for front-country hiking and geocaching access in the south Highwood area. Alberta Parks lists hiking - front country and geocaching as the surfaced activities.
The page does not list a campground, group-use area, boat launch, beach, or interpretive centre. That limited amenity profile is useful because it helps visitors separate Lineham from nearby Kananaskis campgrounds and larger trail hubs.
Because the official page is concise, planning should lean on current Alberta Parks maps, Kananaskis advisories, road conditions, weather, and trail reports. The site can be a good fit for a simple day-use outing when the goal is a short stop, a route check, or a quiet hike rather than a serviced campground stay.
Visitors should also consider the broader Kananaskis context: mountain weather changes quickly, wildlife safety matters, and parking plans should include Conservation Pass requirements before arrival.
Plan around front-country hiking, geocaching, day-use stops, map review, Highwood-area route comparisons, nearby Kananaskis trail planning, and quiet landscape observation.
Confirm Conservation Pass requirements, day-use parking, trail conditions, maps, road advisories, weather, wildlife safety, geocache rules, and Alberta Parks updates.
