Chrystina Lake Campground Provincial Recreation Area.

Chrystina Lake campground is located approximately 19km North East of the Town of Swan Hills and approximately  320km North West of the City of Edmonton. Access is 12km of gravel road. As you drive into Chrystina Lake Campground you'll pass by the world class Swan Hills Hazardous Waste Treatment Plant. This enormous facility is located 2km from the campground. There are approximately 10 campsites for both tents and larger RV's, fire wood, picnic tables, dry toilets, small water craft boat launch, canoeing and kayaking. There is not much information regarding this campground or the lake and I get the feeling there may be a reason. I did see a few fish jump but lost all interest in this area after reading a 2004 government Health and Wellness report saying the Brook Trout contained Mercury. Being so close to the Swan Hills Hazardous Waste Treatment Plant certainly makes this area unattractive and makes me wonder why the campground was left open. Chrystina Lake is not to be confused with another Alberta lake similarly named Christina Lake. I could not reach nearby Edith Lake Campground due to the gravel road condition. This is Bear country, food and food related items must be stored properly.
