Boulton Creek Campground

Location: 63kms south on the #60 Kananaskis Trail highway, 152kms west of Calgary. Peter Lougheed Provincial Park Kananaskis Country Alberta.

Description: Boulton Creek campground contains 118 well treed campsites for both RV’s and tents. Peter Lougheed Provincial Park is as nice as the National Parks and does not require a park pass however during the summer months it fills fast and can be crowded.

Amenities include amphitheater, pay telephone, showers, water hookups, power hookups, picnic tables, fire pits, flush toilets, water, sani dump, paved bike paths and interpretive hiking trails. Dry firewood is available here for a fee. There are several hiking trails located near here along with a paved bike path system that connects all the campgrounds. You can also ride your bike to nearby Upper and Lower Kananaskis lakes.

Both lakes offer very nice picnic areas with picnic tables located close to the lakes edge. Upper Kananaskis 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, Elbow Lake, Elbow Lake to Elbow Loop, Hidden Lake, Kananaskis Fire Lookout, Fossil Falls, Astor Lake and Three Isle Lake are located near here.

Both the Upper and Lower Kananaskis Lakes have excellent boat launches for both power boats and small water craft. Canoeing the Upper Kananaskis Lake 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.

Night skies here rank #3 on the Bortle Scale. This is bear country, food and food related items must be stored properly.
