Centered around the Sheep River, this area is a haven for white water paddlers, anglers and more. Most of the campgrounds are in the rolling foothills but a short trip to the west, will bring you into the middle of large alpine peaks. There are several hiking, biking and equestrian trails in this area.

If you plan on having a fire, please check Alberta Fire Bans, to see if there are any restrictions first.
