Peter Lougheed Provincial Park is an Alberta Parks provincial park in Kananaskis. Alberta Parks lists 14 day-use areas, seven campgrounds, five group-use areas, one visitor centre, and one comfort camping facility.
The official page says a Kananaskis Conservation Pass is required to park a vehicle in Kananaskis and the Bow Valley.
Peter Lougheed is one of Kananaskis Country's major mountain parks, built around Upper and Lower Kananaskis lakes, campgrounds, day-use areas, backcountry routes, and year-round trail systems. Alberta Parks surfaces a very broad activity list, including camping, paddling, fishing, hiking, biking, interpretive programs, skiing, snowshoeing, winter camping, geocaching, and wildlife viewing.
The park has both front-country and backcountry trip options. Visitors can choose lake day-use areas, campground stays, group camps, backcountry campsites, groomed winter trails, interpretive stops, or longer trail routes depending on season and ability.
The Peter Lougheed Discovery and Information Centre is an important planning stop for interpretive information, current conditions, and park orientation. Watercraft activities include aquatic invasive species reminders, and anglers should check fishing rules before planning around the lakes or streams.
Seasonal access and wildlife safety are central. Alberta Parks notes annual road closures in Kananaskis, bear and wildlife safety guidance, trail reports, and advisories. Winter visitors should also check avalanche, ice, and groomed-trail information.
