Stony Mountain Wildland Provincial Park is an Alberta Parks wildland park in the North region, 72 kilometres southwest of Fort McMurray. Alberta Parks lists one backcountry camping area and no developed day-use area count.
The official page says the park protects patterned and non-patterned fens and includes part of the range of a small caribou herd.
Stony Mountain is a remote backcountry park for self-reliant travel, hunting, wildlife viewing, OHV and snowmobile route access, and random camping. Alberta Parks lists backcountry camping, backcountry hiking, hunting, on-site and off-site OHV riding, on-site and off-site snowmobiling, and wildlife viewing.
Access takes planning. The official route travels south of Fort McMurray on Highway 63 for 53 kilometres, east on a forestry road for 10 kilometres to a dead-end staging area, then about eight kilometres by OHV or snowmobile into the park.
Random backcountry camping is permitted, but Alberta Parks says there are no campsites or facilities and no permit or fee is required. Fly-in access and landing aircraft in the park require authorization from Alberta Parks.
OHV rules are clear: use is permitted on existing trails only, and off-trail use is prohibited.
Travel conservatively.
Plan around random backcountry camping, backcountry hiking, hunting, existing-trail OHV use, snowmobiling, wildlife viewing, fen landscape research, caribou habitat awareness, and remote route planning.
Confirm access roads, staging, existing-trail limits, aircraft authorization, hunting rules, random camping guidance, maps, weather, wildfire status, wildlife safety, and Alberta Parks updates.
