Little Bow Provincial Park is an Alberta Parks provincial park in the South region, 20 kilometres south of Vulcan on Highway 23, 16 kilometres east on Highway 529, and one kilometre south on the access road. Alberta Parks lists one day-use area, one campground, and one group-use area.
MIM Management Group Ltd. is shown as facility operator.
Little Bow is a large prairie campground on Travers Reservoir for visitors who want beach time, water sports, and shaded campsites in southern Alberta. Alberta Parks says the campground has unserviced and powered sites suitable for RVs and tents, with trees throughout the campground providing some shade.
The breezy reservoir is the main attraction. Activities include beach use, birding, camping, canoeing and kayaking, fishing, ice fishing, power boating, sailing, swimming, water skiing, and wind surfing. Watercraft activities include aquatic invasive species reminders, so boaters and paddlers should plan around clean-drain-dry practices.
Alberta Parks notes that the nationally threatened peregrine falcon has historically nested along the north shore of the western arm of Travers Reservoir. A fast-food concession is listed as open daily in July and August, and on weekends from mid-May to the end of June and over the September long weekend.
Winter access is limited: the day-use area is open all year, but in winter it is not serviced and is open to foot traffic only.
Plan around camping, group use, beach days, swimming, paddling, fishing, ice fishing, power boating, sailing, water skiing, wind surfing, birding, and concession checks.
Confirm campground status, group-use availability, AIS precautions, concession dates, winter access, ice safety, fishing rules, maps, weather, and Alberta Parks updates.
