Stoney Creek Provincial Recreation Area is an Alberta Parks recreation area in Kananaskis, 60 kilometres west of Calgary on Highway 1 and eight kilometres south on Forestry Trunk Road, Highway 40. Alberta Parks lists one group-use area and no developed day-use area count.
A Kananaskis Conservation Pass is required to park in Kananaskis and the Bow Valley. Cedar & Spruce Campgrounds is shown as facility operator.
Stoney Creek is a treed group-use area just off Highway 40, positioned for visitors who want simple group access near Kananaskis Valley routes. Alberta Parks lists front-country hiking and group use as the posted activities.
The official page notes that Kananaskis Visitor Information Centre is about a five-minute drive away. Barrier Dam Day Use Area in Bow Valley Provincial Park is about a ten-minute drive away, with access to canoeing and hiking trails.
The map resource is also useful. Alberta Parks links the Bow and Kananaskis Valleys Trail Map, connecting Stoney Creek with a long list of nearby Kananaskis routes, facilities, and campgrounds.
The official page does not list general camping or day-use counts, so plan around group-use booking, operator information, and nearby trail access rather than casual drop-in assumptions.
Plan around group use, front-country hiking, nearby visitor-centre stops, Barrier Dam side trips, Bow and Kananaskis Valleys map review, and simple treed-site downtime.
Confirm Conservation Pass requirements, group-use availability, operator updates, nearby trail conditions, maps, road conditions, weather, wildlife and snake safety, and Alberta Parks updates.
