North Fork Provincial Recreation Area is an Alberta Parks recreation area in Kananaskis, 27 kilometres south of Bragg Creek on Highway 762 and six kilometres west on Highway 549. Alberta Parks lists one campground and no developed day-use area count.
The official page says a Kananaskis Conservation Pass is required to park a vehicle in Kananaskis and the Bow Valley.
North Fork is a foothills campground on the east slopes of the Rocky Mountains, where forested and open terrain meet ranching history and mountain scenery. Alberta Parks says North Fork Campground offers unserviced sites suitable for RV camping.
The official description frames the area as a combination of wilderness and ranching country, with natural sights, sounds, and historic sites nearby. Activities include camping, fishing, front-country hiking, equestrian use, mountain biking and cycling, and electric bicycles.
The Elbow Valley Summer Trails Map connects North Fork with nearby Kananaskis routes and recreation areas, including Mesa Butte, Little Elbow, McLean Creek, and a long list of hiking and biking trails. Horseback riding uses trails in the vicinity, so riders should check maps and current conditions before travel.
Because the campground is unserviced, visitors should arrive prepared with water, waste planning, weather awareness, and current operator details from Kananaskis Campground Services.
Plan around unserviced camping, fishing, front-country hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, electric bicycles, Elbow Valley map review, and foothills-ranching scenery.
