OH Ranch Heritage Rangeland is an Alberta Parks heritage rangeland in Kananaskis, approximately 50 kilometres southwest of Calgary. Alberta Parks lists no developed day-use area count.
The official page classifies it under the Wilderness Areas, Ecological Reserves, Natural Areas and Heritage Rangelands Act.
OH Ranch Heritage Rangeland protects native grassland characteristics and celebrates significant ranching history. Alberta Parks says the designation resulted from cooperation between several government agencies and OH Ranch.
The site is large, at 10,569.61 acres, or 4,277.37 hectares. It includes grassland, aspen-dominated forests, willow shrublands, and, in montane areas, forests dominated by lodgepole pine and white spruce. Wildlife noted by Alberta Parks includes wolves, cougars, coyotes, grizzly bears, black bears, moose, mule deer, elk, white-tailed deer, grouse, hawks, eagles, falcons, owls, and waterfowl.
Hunting is the surfaced activity, but access requires extra care. Alberta Parks says the land is subject to grazing leases and regulatory conditions on recreational access. Visitors are asked to leave gates as found, avoid harassing cattle, and slow down when livestock are near or crossing roads.
The official page does not list campgrounds, developed day-use facilities, trails, or visitor services, so any visit should start with access-condition checks and current maps.
Plan around hunting where permitted, grazing lease access research, ranching history, native grassland observation, montane forest context, wildlife awareness, gate etiquette, and map review.
Confirm grazing lease access conditions, hunting seasons, licences, livestock rules, gates, special permits, maps, weather, advisories, and Alberta Parks updates.
