McNabb Campground Alberta
Kananaskis Country.
The

approximately
25km
west of the town of

This campground was renovated in
2011 and offers campsites for both tents and larger RV's, dry
toilets, water pumps, garbage bins,
picnic tables and fire pits. Dry
firewood is available here for sale
in small bundles. This campground
has a few large group camping areas
that are nicely set up for larger
events. There is also a
nearby equestrian campground with
several spots including unloading
ramps and hitching posts for horses.
The Sheep River runs crystal clear
and is home to wild
Cutthroat
Trout, Bull Trout and
Rainbow Trout. You'll need a
fishing
license to try your luck, see
regulations for catch and release. Deer, Elk, Bear and
Bighorn Sheep
are all around this area.
Sheep
River Falls and
Indian Oils is
located just west of here and worth
the drive. Views of the
pools and eddies along the Sheep
River are beautiful and very
inviting. To bad the water is to
cold for swimming. The hike along
the Sandy McNabb interpretive trail offers excellent
views of the Sheep River. More
hikes
Here.
Night
skies here are very dark (#4 on the
Bortle Scale).
