Waskahigan River Provincial Recreation Area is an Alberta Parks recreation area in the North region, 37.5 kilometres south of Valleyview on Highway 43, near Little Smoky on Range Road 215A. Alberta Parks lists one campground and one group-use area.
The official page says the site provides access to the Iosegun River.
Waskahigan River is a river-access campground for paddling, fishing, hiking, and group use along the Highway 43 corridor. Alberta Parks says visitors can access the Iosegun River for kayaking, canoeing, and fishing.
Activities include camping, canoeing and kayaking, fishing, and front-country hiking. Canoeing and kayaking carry aquatic invasive species reminders, so paddlers should clean, drain, and dry gear.
Fishing notes in the official description mention Arctic grayling, walleye, mountain whitefish, and pike. Visitors should still check current regulations, seasons, and licences before fishing.
The page also notes many informal trails and a gravel trail to the Iosegun River. That makes map review and current local conditions important, especially after rain or high water.
The highway location makes it useful for a camping stop, but river levels, trail conditions, and group availability should lead the plan before driving south from the Valleyview area.
Plan around camping, group use, Iosegun River kayaking, canoeing, fishing, the gravel river trail, informal trail exploration, map review, and Highway 43 travel breaks.
Confirm campground and group-use status, river levels, AIS precautions, fishing regulations, trail conditions, maps, road conditions, weather, and Alberta Parks updates.
