Wildhorse Lake Provincial Recreation Area is an Alberta Parks recreation area in the Central region, about 25 kilometres southwest of Hinton off Highway 16. Alberta Parks lists one day-use area and two campgrounds.
West Fraser Mills-Fox Creek Development Association is shown as facility operator.
Wildhorse Lake is a mountain-view camping and trout-fishing recreation area with two small lakes, paddling, electric-powered boating, hiking, kayaking, and paddleboarding. Alberta Parks lists a mix of car-accessible sites and walk-in tenting sites.
Activities include camping, canoeing and kayaking, electric motors only, fishing, front-country hiking, ice fishing, mountain biking and cycling, power boating, geocaching, and electric bicycles. Water activities carry aquatic invasive species reminders.
Current launch conditions matter. Alberta Parks warns that low water leaves the floating dock in very shallow water with muddy ground, so visitors should use caution when launching boats.
Shoreline restoration rules are also posted: driving vehicles and lighting fires on the shoreline are not permitted. Wildhorse Lake has a hand launch, ice fishing is listed for both Wildhorse Lake and Kinky Lake, and electric motors only are allowed on Kinky Lake.
Low water can change the usefulness of the launch from one trip to the next.
Plan around camping, walk-in tenting, trout fishing, canoeing, kayaking, paddleboarding, electric-motor boating, ice fishing, hiking, geocaching, and informal mountain biking.
Confirm campground status, low-water launch conditions, shoreline restoration rules, electric-motor limits, AIS precautions, fishing and ice rules, maps, weather, and Alberta Parks updates.
