Discover Crimson Lake Provincial Park: Full Preview

Crimson Lake Provincial Park is located 14 kilometres west of Rocky Mountain House, off the David Thompson Highway along secondary highway 756.
Crimson Lake received its name from the striking colours of the setting sun reflecting on the surface of its waters seen by an earlier trapper. It is a small, clear, shallow lake set in the meeting spot of foothills pine forests, aspen parkland, bog and muskeg ecosystems. Located on the northeast shore of the lake is Pioneer Ranch Camp, a Christian summer camp within the park's boundaries.
Crimson Lake Provincial Parks offers many recreational activities. There is a public access, groomed beach along the shores of Crimson Lake. Located very near to the beach is a public campground and numerous day access areas.
Crimson Lake offers an excellent location for kayaking, canoeing and boating. Occasionally, one might observe a wind surfer or sailboat out on the water. Water skiing, tubing and swimming are common though the lake does boast a flourishing leach population. There are public, roped off swim areas adjacent to the public beach. Life guards are not on duty. In the day use area in which the public beach is located, there is also a playground, numerous fire pits and picnic sites and a beach volleyball court. Twin Lakes offers fishing, ice fishing and boating. Fish species include Fathead Minnow, Northern Pike, Pearl Dave, Rainbow Trout, White Sucker, and Yellow Perch.
Crimson Lake's campground offers 169 units. Equipped with showers, washrooms, firewood, a playground, boat launch and sewage disposal, 62 of the campsites have power hookups. Recycling bins are located at garbage stations. There are three picnic shelters and four creative play areas. Twin Lakes campsite is smaller and offers a more rustic approach with 25 treed campsites and 14 overflow sites. A boardwalk is located along the lakeshore and a hiking trail leads to Crimson Lake, 6.5 km away.
