South Ghost Provincial Recreation Area is an Alberta Parks recreation area in Kananaskis, 43 kilometres northwest of Cochrane on the Forestry Trunk Road, Highway 40. Alberta Parks lists one day-use area.
Eastern Slopes ATV Society is shown as partner.
South Ghost is a small day-use recreation area for visitors researching off-site OHV riding and snowmobiling access in the Ghost area. Alberta Parks lists off-site OHV riding and off-site snowmobiling as the posted activities.
The official page points to developed and informal trails in the vicinity, but it also gives clear staging limitations. OHV and snowmobile off-loading within the campground and travel to trails from campsites are prohibited.
That means South Ghost should be planned around current trail access, day-use expectations, partner updates, and rule confirmation rather than assumptions from older route descriptions. Alberta Parks lists no campground count on the official page.
The park-management profile places the recreation area in the Rocky Mountain - Montane Natural Region and lists the park size at 16.36 acres, or 6.62 hectares.
Its small footprint means the recreation value is the nearby trail system, not on-site amenities. Arrive with current route and closure information.
Plan around day-use access, off-site OHV riding, off-site snowmobiling, developed and informal trail research, Forestry Trunk Road travel, partner information, and map review.
Confirm day-use access, partner updates, OHV and snowmobile staging rules, nearby trail status, maps, road conditions, weather, wildlife and snake safety, and Alberta Parks updates.
