Plan Medicine Lake PRA north of Rocky Mountain House with treed lake camping, group site, canoeing, boating, fishing, horseshoes, OHV rules, and snowmobiling.
Medicine Lake Provincial Recreation Area is an Alberta Parks recreation area in the Central region, north of Rocky Mountain House on Highway 22 with gravel-road access southeast to the lake. Alberta Parks lists one day-use area, one campground, and one group-use area.
Westward Bound Campgrounds is shown as facility operator.
Why Visit Medicine Lake Provincial Recreation Area
Medicine Lake is a treed lake campground with boating, fishing, group camping, and simple family amenities. Alberta Parks says campground sites are surrounded by trees for privacy, with a few located next to the lake.
Visitors can launch a canoe or boat to fish, visit the playground, or explore informal OHV trails off site. The private Medicine Lake Group site has its own boat launch, nine campsites with room for additional units, and sunset views over the lake.
Activities include camping, canoeing and kayaking, fishing, horseshoes, off-site OHV riding, power boating, and off-site snowmobiling. Watercraft activities include aquatic invasive species reminders. Alberta Parks also states that power vessels are subject to a 12 kilometre-per-hour speed limit.
OHV and snowmobile rules are specific. OHV off-loading within the campground and travel to trails from campsites are prohibited. Snowmobiling is permitted on the lake only, with access from the boat launch parking lot, and is not permitted elsewhere in the recreation area.
Things To Do
Plan around treed camping, the private group site, canoeing, kayaking, power boating, fishing, horseshoes, playground stops, off-site OHV trails, lake snowmobiling, and sunset viewing.
Planning Notes
Confirm campground status, group-site details, boat launch access, AIS precautions, speed limits, OHV and snowmobile rules, maps, weather, and Alberta Parks updates.
