Paddle River Dam Provincial Recreation Area is an Alberta Parks recreation area in the Central region, 29 kilometres northwest of Sangudo on Highways 43 and 33. Alberta Parks lists one day-use area and one campground.
Lac Ste. Anne County is shown as leaseholder.
Paddle River Dam is a reservoir campground and day-use area for boating, fishing, swimming, wind surfing, and winter lake access. Alberta Parks says the campground is operated by Lac Ste. Anne County and that its location beside Paddle River Reservoir makes it useful for water-based trips.
Activities include camping, canoeing and kayaking, fishing, ice fishing, power boating, snowmobiling, swimming, water skiing, wildlife viewing, wind surfing, and electric bicycles. Watercraft activities include aquatic invasive species reminders, so visitors should plan to clean, drain, and dry boats, paddles, boards, and gear.
The official page gives a broad activity list, but current leaseholder information should still be confirmed before relying on campsite services, booking processes, water availability, or local rules. Reservoir levels, wind, weather, and ice conditions can also shape the trip.
At just over 336 acres, the site is a focused reservoir recreation area rather than a large trail park, so visitors should plan around campground, day-use, and water conditions first.
Plan around county-operated camping, day use, power boating, paddling, fishing, ice fishing, swimming, water skiing, wind surfing, snowmobiling, wildlife viewing, and reservoir access.
Confirm leaseholder updates, campground status, reservoir conditions, AIS precautions, fishing rules, ice safety, maps, weather, advisories, and Alberta Parks updates.
