Why Visit Rock Lake-Solomon Creek Wildland Provincial Park
Rock Lake-Solomon Creek is a backcountry wildland park for hikers, equestrians, anglers, hunters, skiers, and mountain bikers who can plan around rough trails and limited maintenance. Alberta Parks highlights backcountry hiking, horseback riding, and fishing, with Ogre Canyon and Moosehorn Lake as two popular destinations.
Ogre Canyon is near Brule and requires a four-wheel-drive vehicle with clearance to navigate the rough road. Alberta Parks says it is known for rock climbing, scrambling, and ice climbing on frozen waterfalls. Moosehorn Lake is commonly accessed on horseback and is surrounded by Rocky Mountain front-range views.
Activities include backcountry camping, cross-country skiing, fishing, backcountry hiking, equestrian use, hunting, wildlife viewing, geocaching, mountain biking and cycling, fat biking, and electric bicycles. Random backcountry camping is permitted, but there are no developed camping facilities.
Trails include abandoned resource roads, old pack trails, fur-trade routes, and prehistoric routes used by Indigenous peoples. Most stream crossings are not bridged.
