Sibbald Meadows Pond Provincial Recreation Area is an Alberta Parks day-use recreation area in Kananaskis, 30 kilometres east of Canmore on Highway 1, six kilometres south on Highway 40, and six kilometres east on Highway 68. Alberta Parks lists one day-use area.
A Kananaskis Conservation Pass is required to park in Kananaskis and the Bow Valley. Cedar & Spruce Campgrounds is shown as facility operator.
Sibbald Meadows Pond is a small foothills day-use stop centered on a pond and aspen groves. Alberta Parks says it is named for Frank Sibbald, who settled in the area in 1875.
The official page frames the site as a place to stop, relax, fish, walk, and picnic. Visitors can follow an easy trail along the shore, cast a line, or use the picnic area for a simple snack break while travelling Highway 68.
Activities include fishing, front-country hiking, and geocaching. Fishing plans should include current regulation checks because Alberta Parks places Sibbald Meadows Pond in fish management zone ES1.
The page does not list camping or group use, so plan this as a day-use pond, short walk, and quiet foothills pause rather than an overnight destination.
This is a short-stay site, so arrive with simple plans.
Plan around pond-side picnics, shore walking, fishing regulation checks, front-country hiking, geocaching, aspen-grove scenery, and a relaxed Highway 68 stop.
Confirm Conservation Pass requirements, day-use access, fishing regulations, trail conditions, picnic-area status, maps, operator updates, weather, wildlife safety, and Alberta Parks updates.
