Sulphur Lake Provincial Recreation Area | Alberta

Sulphur Lake Provincial Recreation Area is an Alberta Parks recreation area in the North region, about an hour north of Peace River and northwest of Dixonville. Alberta Parks lists one campground and one day-use area.

The official page says Clear Hills County is the leaseholder.

Why Visit Sulphur Lake Provincial Recreation Area

Sulphur Lake is a mixedwood-forest campground on the shore of an aerated trout lake. Alberta Parks lists a hand launch, boat launch, pier, and fish cleaning station, making the site useful for anglers, paddlers, and small-power-vessel users.

Activities include birding, camping, canoeing and kayaking, cross-country skiing, fishing, front-country hiking, ice fishing, power boating, off-site snowmobiling, snowshoeing, swimming, and wildlife viewing. Water activities carry aquatic invasive species reminders.

Fishing is central. Alberta Parks says the lake is aerated to support brook and rainbow trout stocks. Ice fishing is listed, but winter access is limited because snow plowing is only periodic.

Power vessels are subject to a 12 kilometre-per-hour speed limit. Snowmobile planning also needs care: undeveloped trails are nearby, but off-loading within the campground and travel to trails from campsites are prohibited.

Remote road timing and periodic winter plowing make arrival planning part of the trip.

Things To Do

Plan around camping, day use, trout fishing, ice fishing, paddling, slow power boating, swimming, hiking, skiing, snowshoeing, wildlife viewing, and campground-map review.

Planning Notes

Confirm campground status, leaseholder updates, aeration and fishing rules, ice and winter access, 12 km/h boating, AIS precautions, snowmobile limits, maps, weather, and Alberta Parks updates.
