Poachers' Landing Provincial Recreation Area is an Alberta Parks recreation area in the North region, northeast of Athabasca. Alberta Parks lists one campground and no developed day-use area count.
The official page places the site 25 kilometres east of Athabasca on Highway 55, then north on Range Road 195A and east to the access road.
Poachers' Landing is a riverside campground with trail access for equestrians and OHV users, plus a connection to adjacent La Biche River Wildland Provincial Park. Alberta Parks says registered campers have access to a small equestrian staging area with hitching rails and a corral for overnight horse stays.
Activities include birding, camping, canoeing and kayaking, dog sledding, fishing, backcountry hiking, front-country hiking, equestrian use, on-site and off-site OHV riding, power boating, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, wildlife viewing, winter camping, and geocaching.
The official page says OHV trails in the recreation area are maintained by Alberta Parks and that OHV staging facilities are available for public use. Watercraft activities include aquatic invasive species reminders, so paddling and boating plans should include clean-drain-dry practices.
Because this site connects campground, horse, OHV, river, and winter uses, visitors should check maps, trail rules, river conditions, and current campground status before travel.
Plan around riverside camping, equestrian staging, OHV trail access, La Biche River Wildland trips, paddling, power boating, fishing, hiking, dog sledding, snowmobiling, and wildlife viewing.
Confirm campground status, OHV trail rules, equestrian facilities, AIS precautions, fishing rules, river conditions, maps, weather, and Alberta Parks updates.
