Notikewin Provincial Park is an Alberta Parks provincial park in the North region, 37 kilometres north of Manning on Highway 35 and 30 kilometres east on Highway 692. Alberta Parks lists two day-use areas and one campground.
The park sits at the confluence of the Peace and Notikewin rivers.
Notikewin is a densely forested river-valley campground with paddling, fishing, trails, wildlife viewing, and a rich cultural and transportation history. Alberta Parks says the campground has 19 beautifully treed, unserviced sites available for first come, first served camping.
The river setting shapes the trip. Visitors can paddle along the river, fish from shore for walleye or northern pike, explore hiking and biking trails, and watch for more than 26 wildlife species that call the park home.
Alberta Parks notes that the park name reflects several battles between Cree and Dane-zaa First Nations, and that the Hudson's Bay Company operated Battle River House on the southern bank of the Notikewin River. Steam-powered boats also travelled the Peace River in the early 1900s.
Activities include birding, camping, canoeing and kayaking, cross-country skiing, fishing, front-country hiking, mountain biking and cycling, power boating, wildlife viewing, and electric bicycles. Current road advisories should be checked because the road from the campground to the boat launch and river has been damaged.
Plan around first come camping, Peace and Notikewin river access, shore fishing, paddling, sandbar boat access, hiking, biking, birding, wildlife viewing, and local history.
Confirm road warnings, campground status, river access, AIS precautions, fishing rules, water levels, maps, wildlife safety, weather, and Alberta Parks updates.
