Moonshine Lake Provincial Park | Alberta

Moonshine Lake Provincial Park is an Alberta Parks provincial park in the North region, 27 kilometres west of Spirit River on Highway 49 and seven kilometres north on Highway 725. Alberta Parks lists three day-use areas, one campground, and one group-use area.

The park is surrounded by boreal mixedwood forest.

Why Visit Moonshine Lake Provincial Park

Moonshine Lake is a year-round recreation park with camping, beach time, trails, winter activities, and wildlife viewing. Alberta Parks says summer visitors can use the 2.5-kilometre Lakeview Loop trail, reserve a campsite, relax on the beach, fish for trout from shore or from an electric motor boat, use multiple playgrounds, ride the bike park, and enjoy a fire inside the day-use shelter.

The main campground has more than 100 powered campsites, with firewood, water, showers, and sewage disposal available seasonally. The group campsite includes power hookups, picnic tables, a private cook shelter, fire pit area, volleyball net, horseshoe pits, and pit or vault toilets.

Winter activities include more than 14 kilometres of cross-country ski trails, ice skating, snowshoeing, ice fishing, the day-use shelter, and playgrounds. Activities also include baseball, birding, camping, canoeing and kayaking, electric motors only, hiking, swimming, picnic use, geocaching, and electric bicycles.

Check current construction advisories for campground loops, the beach, beach parking, and walking-trail closures before travel.
