Ole Buck Mountain Natural Area | Alberta

Ole Buck Mountain Natural Area is an Alberta Parks natural area in Kananaskis, 40 kilometres west of Calgary. Alberta Parks lists no developed day-use area count.

The official page includes an important access note: there is no public access to this natural area from park or Crown land.

Why Visit Ole Buck Mountain Natural Area

Ole Buck Mountain is mainly a research and planning page for visitors who need to understand access limits, hunting context, and montane natural-area protection west of Calgary. Hunting is the surfaced activity, with links to Alberta's parks-system hunting information, regulations, and licence purchasing.

The park-management section gives the natural context. Alberta Parks classifies the site as a natural area under the Wilderness Areas, Ecological Reserves, Natural Areas and Heritage Rangelands Act and lists its size as 875.71 acres, or 354.389 hectares.

The site is in the Rocky Mountain - Montane Natural Region. Alberta Parks describes it as a rolling and hilly area slightly incised by creeks and gullies, mainly forested by mixedwood stands of aspen, balsam poplar, white spruce, and lodgepole pine.

Because no public access is available from park or Crown land, visitors should not treat the page as an open trailhead. Any legal access question should be resolved before travel.

Things To Do

Plan around access research, hunting-rule checks where legal access exists, montane mixedwood habitat study, creek and gully landscape context, map review, and permit checks.

Planning Notes

Confirm legal access, boundaries, hunting seasons, licences, special permits, maps, advisories, weather, wildlife safety, and Alberta Parks updates before travelling.
