Twin Lakes Campground Alberta

Twin Lakes Campground Provincial Park Recreation Area.

Twin Lakes Campground is located 8km northwest of Rocky Mountain House. Equal distance 3 hours from both Calgary and Edmonton. There are 39 campsites with picnic tables and fire pits. Some of the sites are surrounded by Aspen and Spruce tress that provide some privacy but most of the central sites are open to one another. This campground has a hand water pump, dry toilets, firewood, playground, boat launch, fish cleaning station and a few very nice fishing or wildlife viewing docks. There are several wooden walkways that have been constructed alongside the lake and marsh areas. One of the nicest wooden walkway's I have seen is located here and is over 150m long. This walkway has been built over the surrounding marsh and leads toward a small island that has viewing benches and a dock. If the wooden walkway is wet be careful. When wet, I'm sure it becomes the most slippery surface on earth. I did a complete head spin and fell into the marsh when taking a photo of one of the Wildflowers shown below. That was the end of my camera but thankfully it's memory chip survived. Onlookers were very amused. The lake is perfect for canoeing, kayaking, float tubing and small water craft. The electric motors only restriction keeps the lake in pristine condition. Twin Lakes is stocked with Rainbow Trout and offers good fly fishing. You'll need a fishing license to try out your luck. The docks that are located on the lake are good spots to fish from a lawn chair or viewing the local wildlife. The nearby town of Rocky Mountain House has all the amenities one would need and there is an interesting museum located there. Night skies here rank # 4 on the Bortle Scale and the road leading to the campground is paved. The Crimson Lake Campground is located approximately 6km northwest of here.
