Why Visit Pine Le Moray Park
Pine Le Moray is a mountain retreat for camping, paddling, fishing, wildlife viewing, horseback riding, hunting, winter recreation, and wilderness hiking. Heart Lake is stocked with rainbow and brook trout, and only self-propelled or electric-motor boats are allowed there. Gas-powered boats are prohibited.
The park protects upper watersheds of Link Creek, Mountain Creek, and Pine River, plus wet, cool Engelmann spruce and subalpine fir ecosystems in the Hart Ranges. Karst topography, alpine habitats, and wildlife habitat are also protected. Caribou, moose, grizzly bear, black bear, and wolverine occur in or around the park, and Pine River, Link Creek, and Mountain Creek contain fish such as bull trout, rainbow trout, arctic grayling, mountain whitefish, and slimy sculpin.
Things To Do
Camp at user-maintained Heart Lake, swim without lifeguards, canoe or kayak, fish with a licence, hike into wilderness areas, cycle where allowed, ride horseback outside the campground and day-use area, hunt during open seasons, and snowmobile only where permitted.
Planning Notes
Bring your own drinking water and pack out garbage. There are no developed trails. E-bikes are not allowed on park trails. Snowmobiling is closed year-round in the southwest portion and seasonally closed in the southeast corner from January 15 to September 30 to protect caribou habitat.
