Livingstone Falls Provincial Recreation Area | Alberta

Livingstone Falls Provincial Recreation Area is an Alberta Parks recreation area in the South region, 60 kilometres north of Crowsnest on Forestry Trunk Road. Alberta Parks lists one day-use area and one campground.

The official page describes the southwestern Rockies as the backdrop for camping here.

Why Visit Livingstone Falls Provincial Recreation Area

Livingstone Falls is a small mountain recreation area for campers who want river scenery, fishing, and informal waterfall walks. Alberta Parks says visitors can try fishing in the Livingstone River, take a dip in a clear cold pool, or hike informal trails with views of the falls.

Activities include camping, fishing, front-country hiking, and geocaching. The activity list is compact, which makes planning simpler than at larger mountain parks: choose it for a campground-based trip, a day-use waterfall stop, or a fishing-oriented outing rather than a long amenity list.

Because the site is on Forestry Trunk Road, road conditions and weather deserve attention before travel. Mountain access can feel very different in wet, cold, or shoulder-season conditions, and campground availability should be confirmed before relying on a site.

Visitors should also build the trip around safety near cold water, fast currents, wet rock, and informal trails. The official map and current advisories should guide where to park, walk, fish, and camp.

Things To Do

Plan around campground stays, Livingstone River fishing, cold-pool viewing, informal falls trails, front-country hiking, geocaching, day-use stops, and southwestern Rockies scenery.

Planning Notes

Confirm campground status, road conditions, fishing regulations, cold-water safety, trail conditions, maps, advisories, weather, fire restrictions, and Alberta Parks updates.
