Province Of Alberta Reminds Everyone To Give Winter Camping A Try!
The Province of Ontario took a moment to remind Albertans to go out and give winter camping a try this year.
Alberta’s Crown lands provide many options to choose from, including provincial campgrounds, random camping on public and vacant land and, for those who would prefer to hibernate, comfort camping in Sir Winston Churchill Provincial Park and Cypress Hills Provincial Park. Winter camping is available at 26 frontcountry campgrounds and 45 backcountry sites in provincial parks and recreation areas across the province.
“We are fortunate to have access to so many winter playgrounds across the province. I encourage every Albertan to spend as much time as possible outdoors this season. From camping with loved ones in a provincial park to adventuring down your favourite trail, Alberta’s Crown lands offer many opportunities to make memories that will last a lifetime.”
Through Budget 2023, the Alberta government is investing $211.3 million over three years to improve and expand recreation and amenities so that domestic and international visitors alike can enjoy the outdoors year-round.
“Alberta is the best destination for winter recreation and tourism. From cross-country skiing to winter hiking in one of our many world-renowned parks, opportunities for fun and adventure live around every corner of our province. This investment to promote our beautiful winters will show the world that Alberta is the best place to live, visit and play.”
Accessibility is also key for everyone to enjoy the outdoors, and the province reminded that eligible visitors can also reserve a winter getaway at William Watson Lodge in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park. William Watson Lodge provides barrier-free wilderness lodging for persons with disabilities and seniors and their families.
