The Point campground trail head is located in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park at the West Upper Kananaskis Lake parking lot near the inflow of the Kananaskis River. There are 20 campsites that are available. The hike to the campground is approximately 3km, 1.25 hour easy hike along the West shore of the Upper Kananaskis Lake. The views along the trail are beautiful especially the rock slide off Mount Indefatigable. The trail continues on around the Upper Kananaskis Lake and branches off to the South Kananaskis Pass or further along to Aster Lake and Fossil Falls. At the campground you'll find firewood, hopefully an axe, fire pits, picnic tables, tent pads, food storage lockers, food storage poles and outhouses. This is Bear country, food and food related items must be stored properly. Backcountry camping permits can be purchased in person at the Peter Lougheed Park, Barrier Lake and Elbow Valley visitor information centres. The Upper Kananaskis Lake and the Kananaskis River are a short walk away. Trail heads to Rawson Lake, Hidden Lake, Astor Lake and Three Isle Lake are located near here. Canoeing to this Campground on a calm summers evening would be an unforgettable experience. There are Rainbow Trout, Cutthroat Trout and Bull Trout in lake. You'll need a fishing license to try out your luck. Boulton Creek campground, Lower Lake Campground, Canyon Creek campground, Elkwood campground and Mount Sarrail campground are all located near here.
