Mount Sarrail Campground Peter Lougheed Provincial Park Kananaskis Country.

Mount Sarrail campground is located approximately 154km south west of Calgary in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park Kananaskis country. There are 44  tents only campsites that are available on a first come first serve basis. The campground fills fast on weekends due to it's close proximity to the City of Calgary. Mount Sarrail campground offers, water, dry toilets, picnic tables and fire pits. Dry firewood is available here for a fee. This is bear country, food and food related items must be stored properly. The Mount Sarrail campground lays in between the Upper and Lower Kananaskis lakes. There are several trails located in the area along with an extensive scenic paved bike path system. You can ride a bike around this entire area. There is a lot to explore here, the Upper Kananaskis Lake is a short walk away. Both lakes have very nice picnic areas with picnic tables located close to the lakes edge. The Upper Lake has a well groomed hiking trail around the entire lake that offers beautiful views of Mount Lyautey, Mount Sarrail, Mount Foch and Mount Fox. Trailheads to Rawson Lake, Hidden Lake, Fossil Falls, Astor Lake and Three Isle Lake are located at the Upper Kananaskis Lake. Both the Upper and Lower Kananaskis Lakes have excellent boat launches for both power boats and small water craft such as canoes. Canoeing the Upper or Lower lakes on a calm summers evening would be an unforgettable experience. There are Rainbow Trout, Cutthroat Trout and Bull Trout in both the lakes. You'll need a fishing license to try out your luck. William Watson Lodge is located a few kms east of here. The lodge was created to provide equal access to this beautiful area for people of all abilities and provides 1st class accommodations for seniors and those with disabilities. I tip my hat to Jean Lougheed who thought of creating this Lodge and her husband Peter Lougheed who made it happen. Canyon Creek campground, Elkwood campground, Lower Lake Campground, Interlake's campground, Boulton Creek campground and Point Back Country Campground are all located near here. See the official web site link below for fees, opening and closing dates.
